Does your home town rank?

If your home town feels a bit 'under the weather', then it probably ranks on this new list of the unhappiest places in the country.

While we recently reported on the happiest place to live in the UK, the most desirable place to live in the UK and the best place to live in the UK for quality of life, we've now discovered their polar opposite thanks to new information from the Office for National Statistics.

According to the ONS report titled Personal well-being in the UK: Oct 2015 to Sept 2016, Corby, Northamptonshire is the unhappiest place to live. What's more, our average anxiety levels as a country have increased since last year, The Independent reports.

Yikes. Maybe we should try out more of these 101 ways of coping with stress?
