in Bondi Junction, Sydney, said many new clients are struggling to cope in their daily lives.
“Responses to getting things completed are now more burdensome. They express feeling flooded, fearful and insecure.” “Young women report that the uncertainty of COVID and the lack of control that’s transpiring for them, as they attempt to function in an unknown new environment, has been overwhelming.”in Melbourne said the surge in people seeking help for the first time is overwhelming the mental health system.“I’ve had quite a few people say, ‘I never thought I’d be talking to a psychologist,’ and they can’t believe it’s them who’s struggling.
Dr Glen Hosking is a clinical psychologist, senior lecturer at Victoria University and director of the VU Psychology Clinic. He said it’s understandable that people without existing mental health conditions are struggling.“There’s anxiety and uncertainty from a health perspective, but also surrounding employment and finances. If you add on top of that the isolation that people are experiencing, it creates almost a perfect storm.
When COVID-19 is a thing of the past, Stark believes the period of reflection that follows will show any lingering stigma about mental illness will have finally been smashed.
Correction: ...’due to Victorian government management of the coronavirus.’ As far as I’m aware, mental health problems are not listed as symptoms of this virus. NoPlanDan
