Anxiety, depression, and stress are building along with the unknowns and isolation due to the COVID-19 outbreak. According to the CDC, feelings of anxiety and stress during a pandemic can manifest in a number of ways. This includes financial stress, a change in sleeping and eating patterns, worsening chronic or mental health conditions, and increased substance abuse.
To avoid the consequences of isolation, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health recommends spending 15 minutes each day writing or talking to a loved one, staying connected to friends through social media, and finding ways to help others.
