CORONAVIRUS & MENTAL ILLNESS

The coronavirus and its effect on mental health has been an ongoing concern by medical professionals, but a new global initiative hopes to learn more about the virus and its impact on those with mental illness.
The Financial Times reported last Saturday that the Healthy Brains Global Initiative hopes to raise $10 billion from a variety of sources – including wealthy individuals – and approach mental illness with the same kind of sophistication that other diseases receive.
Ed Whiting, appointed to the initiative’s Board of Directors, told the paper COVID has added to the stress level of many people and has increased reports of depression. He pointed out that the depression rate among the young has seen a noticeable increase.
The Kaiser Family Foundation reported last week that 53 percent of U.S. adults have said the virus has had a “negative impact on their mental health.” The report said that back in May, only 39 percent have felt that kind of impact.
TRENDPOST: As we noted when the COVID War was launched in February, none of the politicians or the mass media addressed the grave implications it would impose on the human spirit. 
 The mental health toll will continue to increase as the “Greatest Depression” worsens, particularly among young people who face the despair of futureless futures.
