Lockdown due to Corona virus has badly affected the mental health of Americans. The results of a survey showed that the mental health of Americans has reached its lowest level in two decades. 76 percent of Americans surveyed said their mental health was fair, which is less than 85 percent last year.
46 percent of the people in the survey said that they are facing financial difficulties. And this number is the highest since the financial crisis of 2008.
Most of the US states are still under lockdown and the restrictions are the strictest in California, a state with a population of over 20 million.
Experts say that lockdown and economic problems are the main factors affecting mental health. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in August that 1 in 4 young Americans thought about suicide during the summer.
Children are affected by absenteeism and online learning, while loneliness has a negative impact on the mental health of young people.
In America, the mental health of the elderly and low-income people is the most affected. Eight months ago, a survey report was published in which it was stated that a large number of Americans are not satisfied with their lives.
Although the government has allowed the use of the corona vaccine, citizens will still face restrictions.
