The Pandemic Raised Mental Health Awareness. Will It Last?
Apr 26, 2022
The pandemic has impacted the community and youth with lifestyle changes and social anxiety. Some causes behind the worsening of mental health due to COVID-19 are that many are experiencing grief after loss of loved ones and some are experiencing stress from having to care for sick family members.
Children’s mental health has also been impacted. The CDC has shown that for children, there were mental health-related emergency department visits. For girls between the age of 12 and 17, there was a staggering 50% increase in attempted suicides since the pandemic began.
