COVID Mental Health Distress and Suicide

Private Health Care consistently emphasizes the importance of mental health, especially this month during Mental Health Awareness Month.

A sad consequence of COVID, lockdown and social distancing has been the toll on people’s mental health.

Unfortunately, there has been a rise in suicides that are attributed to mental health struggles stemming from COVID. Increased levels of anxiety, depression, isolation, and stress can impact those particularly with pre-existing mental health conditions.

It is heartbreaking to face that there has also been a rise in suicide among minors. Let’s spread awareness of this tragedy and hopefully prevent others from suffering.
