Not to depress you, but a recent survey has informed us that we’re about as unhappy as we’ve been since records began.

Deakin University’s School of Psychology is behind the survey, and researcher Doctor Kate Lycett told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings this year’s study paints a dire picture.

“We found that people aged between 18 and 25 had the worst wellbeing,” Dr Lycett said.
