Psychotherapist and relationship counsellor Melissa Ferrari says we may not see the full mental health effects of the coronavirus pandemic for some time to come.

“Mental health issues appear to be going up but I think we may not see the ramifications of that right now… but in the long term I think we really will have a serious issue,” she said.

Ms Ferrari said so many people’s sense of self was gained through their work or community groups “like a gym or mother’s group” and now “all those things have been taken away because of lockdowns”. “When that’s gone, mental health issues can really start to emerge and it’s a big concern,” she said. She said early intervention was "really really important" and urged Australians to seek help at the first sign of difficulty.

Hooray labour won in NT, alittle hurt for hate speech.

Hydroxychloroquine Should Be Available Over The Counter

We won’t see any mental health illness or death because Andrews will just say it’s COVID

So how many years at University did she do to achieve that outcome. I could have done that reading FB.

Preparing for post-covid fear mongering? To keep up the fear? .. 'Oh my god, oh my god, the virus has gone, but iam maybe get mentally ill. Who knows when.. oh my good'. Stop it already. This BS must end.. NOW !

There should be a class action law suite for all affected by the poor management by the Andrews government.

Yes we did fuk the economy. And we know that the fall out from the lockdown will lead to way more deaths,suicides and domestic violence but we did help a few dying 90 year olds with underlying health conditions live a few weeks longer. So a pat on the back to everyone.

The full effects of the mental health fallout won’t ever be known.

Doctors, nurses & frontline medical staff across the world are using Hydroxychloroquine as a prophylactic, as well as treatment for patients. Wake up!
