Every winter, as the days get shorter, darker and colder, millions of Americans suffer debilitating psychological symptoms that can interfere with every aspect of life at home, work and school.
The pandemic has upended every aspect of normal life for many people, resulting in politicized culture wars, armed vigilantes on the streets and a rise in mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. “Being outside has felt like a safe place to be,” said Vaile Wright, the American Psychological Association’s senior director of healthcare innovation. But winter is coming and uncertainty is growing – a worrisome combination for mental health, warn experts.
Daylight walks, artificial lights, healthy eating, regular sleep and maintaining virtual or distanced social connections will help stave off the sadness, according to mental health experts. But, the holidays could be tough. Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas will look very different for many families this year because of ongoing concerns about the virus, travel restrictions and financial woes.
COVID19 isn’t the problem, covidiocy is. It has the mortality rate of the flu, and it’s being treated like it’s ebola. ReopenAmerica
It's the shutdowns, not covid.
Believe me. I know the feeling. This was the Summer of our Discontent. Tired of being locked up in my own home. Its bullshit.
I truly feel bad for these people. I love the cold weather and solitude. It's just beautiful, just try it. ❄⛄🌲🌲
