Given the x-axis is very condensed I think this can reasonably be called a strike a relative 25% increase (ie. the number of people with anxiety or depression increasing by 25% of its original value) in two and a half years is quite considerable.

I agree it’s a bad way to present the data and hard to really tell the significance of the strike without data from the years before.
