How does COVID-19 affect our mental health?

 

COVID-19 is an infectious disease that can spread from person to person if they are not responsible. You can protect yourself and others by using masks, hand sanitizers, social distancing, etc.  We are still in a worldwide pandemic which causes lockdowns, and unfortunately, the lockdowns affect people in different ways. Due to the pandemic, the mental health of many kids, teens, and adults has deteriorated.  Many people feel stressed and overwhelmed.  It’s vital to discuss the importance of mental health among family and friends, because not having proper mental health or access to mental health resources, can cause a decline in physical health as well, including the way we treat ourselves as individuals. It’s imperative to indulge in self-care and be mindful of the safety of others.  If you or anyone you know requires assistance with mental health, please seek immediate medical assistance.
