Studies show mental illness has increased by 70% worldwide

And this has been since the pandemic.
Probably a combo of isolation, fear of the unknown, change, panic, and now, the economy.

Which mental illnesses do you believe have increased since Covid?

I’ll take a wild guess with anxiety & depression being the top two.

I can't agree more. The stress left behind by Covid has been resonating in everyone's life. The grief, trauma, pain, disbelief and void are still being felt by everyone affected. It wont be so easy to come out of this post traumatic stress.

PTSD is another addition to earlier mentioned list.

The rise in mental illness worldwide might be due to factors like economic stress, social isolation, climate change, and digital overload. While awareness and diagnosis have improved, lifestyle changes, global instability, and healthcare access disparities continue to challenge mental well-being on a large scale.
