The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to people’s mental health, with millions of individuals experiencing increased levels of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. The pandemic has disrupted daily routines, caused job losses, and forced individuals to isolate from friends and family, exacerbating pre-existing mental health conditions and creating new ones. In this article, we will explore the impact of the pandemic on mental health, the factors that contribute to the crisis, and the strategies that individuals and communities can use to support mental wellness. Through this exploration, we hope to gain a better understanding of the pandemic’s lasting effects on mental health and the lessons we can learn to support mental health moving forward.
