There are fears that the British Film and TV industries are in crisis after a new study has revealed that 87 percent of industry workers have experienced mental health problems.
Alex Pumfrey, chief executive of the Film and TV Charity, said: “The study findings are alarming and deeply upsetting.”
Workers were two times more likely to experience anxiety than the national average, and three times more likely to have self-harmed.
As a response to the data, obtained by the Film and TV Charity, an industry-led task force has been established to ameliorate the problem.
