Young Australians experienced higher levels of psychological distress than any other age group, with experts warning the upheaval and mental toll of living through a pandemic worsened chronic health conditions. census

Young Australians have reported far higher levels of psychological distress than any other age group with the census capturing the upheaval and mental toll of living through a pandemic.

“It raises some really important questions, one being: just how much of this is a reflection of our COVID situation?” she said. “It is almost impossible to answer this directly because we have never asked this question before in a census.” For the first time, the 2021 census also collected information on diagnosed, ongoing health conditions. It found more than 8 million people have a long-term health condition.of chronic diseases, it was closely followed by arthritis, which affected 2.1 million Australians. Asthma was the third most common long-term condition, with more than 2.06 million people reporting a diagnosis.

Working at home in her public service job during the 2020 and 2021 Melbourne lockdowns, Hall said she “brushed off her symptoms” due to the turbulence of adjusting to pandemic conditions. “It’s a really smart move to collect this data,” Moodie said. “Throughout the pandemic we’ve been talking about communicable diseases that are potentially fatal and happen very quickly. This is completely the opposite of the major other pandemics of chronic disease that have been going on in our world for the last 20 years.”

How is this shocking? What did you all think would've happened?

Well the media did play the largest part in locking them up and taking away their jobs schools,friends,family, sport,outings and travel

A big thank you to Daniel Andrews for the world record lockdown - How many more lives will be lost under his leadership

When you find out that: - you don't live in a country, but fiefdoms called 'states' that lock you out - you don't have the right to leave your own home - you don't have the right to return to your own country - you actually have NO rights at all

It isn't shocking or perplexing....

An older Australian are immune to the effects of the pandemic? Everyone needs to toughen the fuck up .

But I’m sure ChristyDanFan and Kazza Boots will tell us its to save the kids 🤪

thanks to dictator dan and our awesome mental health minister james 'bail the ship' merlino. locked our youth up with no mental health support available.

This can be expected when old people use kids as human shields to protect themselves from perceived threats

The worst is yet to come- will manifest over years & decades. It’s the effect on the younger generation that is most concerning & will impact society the most- it’s only just starting to show.

Might this increase in levels of psychological distress experienced by young Australians be manifesting in the increase of blind belief in Trans ideology?

Kids mental health is just collateral damage. At least we got to see a photo of DanielAndrewsMP with a donut like it was his sacrifice to celebrate!

No shit, and it wasn't 'Covid'. It was the completely unjustified lockdowns, which decimated the mental health of the young. It was already known last year that the lockdowns in 2020 doubled mental illness in the young globally:

I wonder if it’s because we locked them in their homes?

Much of this stems from a crisis of self-confidence as activists ceaselessly denigrate Australia's Western history, traditions and ancestry. People need to believe they belong to something with a worthwhile purpose and deserving of pride and in Australia we definitely do.
