You got your one reply a month Pete, I'm done.
From a psychiatrist on another forum:
Quote:
Completely anecdotal, as a psychiatrist thinking about what I’m hearing from my primarily low income (uninsured or Medicare/Medicaid) patients from a mental health standpoint ranking wise with most distressing at #1.
1) Parents trying to decide if they should send kids to school and if not suffering how to make tele-learning work with their other responsibilities.
2) Family member critically ill or dying of Covid
3) Patients living in residential care and similar facilities cut off completely from any societal interaction for 7 months.
4) Job losses
5) Patient actually has Covid themselves
6) General feeling of isolation in people who have means for internet / socially distanced activities etc
The remote schooling thing in context of potential exposure is the stuff of nightmares from a mental health standpoint, parents are mostly powerless, but feel they are failing kid in some way no matter how hard they are trying to make good decisions.

It's not like there's some magic cure out there of just "end lockdown" and everyone goes back to perfect happiness. People are dying from this thing. We're going to be struggling until the pandemic is over.
