COVID-19 and Mental Health

Hello!

Just a short post today, but hopefully a useful one. The current crisis can be even worse for those with mental health conditions. People with depression and anxiety can feel even more isolated. People at work are under increasing stress and pressure which can be detrimental to our mental health.
