Covid-19 doesn't just affect our physical health

. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major effect on our lives. Many of us are facing challenges that can be stressful, overwhelming, and cause strong emotions in adults and children. Public health actions, such as social distancing, are necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, but they can make us feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, research has noted a variety of mental health consequences that have been experienced in response. Some of these consequences have included: stress, depression, anxiety, feelings of panic, feelings of hopelessness, frustration, feelings of desperation, and struggles with suicidal ideation and behavior, insomnia, irritability, emotional exhaustion, grief, and traumatic stress symptoms.
