Mental Health Effects of COVID: Nevada
"In nearly 2,300 hours of hotline conversations, COVID-19 was mentioned as a stressor during about half the calls, and depression, anxiety and social isolation was mentioned in about 80 percent of calls.
"'There will be some people who will never get over this. They’ll always have some kind of anxiety,' Reedy said.
"The good news, as she sees it, is that more people are taking mental health seriously and realizing what it's like to suffer from a mental illness.
"Many of those enlisting help from Nevada crisis call centers are first-time callers, Reedy said. People who have never battled with their mental and emotional wellbeing are struggling to cope, and others who have suffered from mild symptoms previously have conditions that are now exacerbated."
