I think what Wess has said has hit the nail on the head but I’ll try to explain going abit more in depth;


I think with the current global events and the coronavirus it can have a massive impact on those that were/are going through the process of getting through any issues but there are always the different scenarios depending on the person.


Let’s say if someone just has depression then a lot of factors that can help is hobbies like going out doing activities ect with the pandemic this can really impact ones ability to be able to do anything involving something they may enjoy and without the ability to do what they enjoy it could make it more severe and end up falling into a downward spiral as if they’re just going in a loop.


I think with the serious mental health like trauma when someone’s young or bad memories if the individual was getting help before the pandemic then it gets cut off this could have detrimental effects on that person as they may have just started to trust and open up and talk about there problems now with them not being able to see the individual this may set the person back and make the emotions worse as seen with the upwards of suicide rates globally but that may be due to peoples views as them feeling like it won’t end?


mental health is something that governments around the world need to address as it can lead onto things like insomnia and other mental health effects that may stop the person being a functioning person of society. This could lead into abusing alcohol or abusing drugs as this is prevalent where I live.


your last question could be very controversial as a lot of people may not understand the severity of mental health I’ll give an example;


Lets say person 1 has depression and person 2 has depression and something like bipolar and these were both getting addressed before the pandemic and now that it’s happened these arise again they’re both human and prioritising one over the over could lead to one of them developing even worse conditions but now with the influx of people suffering it’s something extraordinarily hard to approach as what if person 1 and 2 will only speak to the same person but can only fit one in its incredibly hard to prioritise one over the over for doctors as a lot do genuinely care. There is a lot of scenarios that could be explained and there a lot of issues that may cause certain attributes to ones mental health. Also what I think makes it worse is how doctors just chuck the person on some sort of drugs which is something we may get addicted to but without hitting the source of the problem it’ll always be there (a lot of doctors do that here) and this may cause the person to think what a waste of time and not seek out help.


hope I explained it well enough.
