As we approach the 12th month of the virus scourge it’s safe to say which the lingering effects on society will be disruptive and long-lasting. folks are under more stress with fewer outlets than ever before. School, work, social life, healthcare have all been severely impacted/switched out over the past 8 months. It’s challenging to wake up each week under a constant barrage of contradicting, confusing, and questionable information. If one is feeling anxious, even for the first time, one is not alone. According to Next Avenue, “There’s a good chance even if one hasn’t experienced serious insanity issues, such as significant depression or OCD, or something like mania, one could now be having some symptoms.” As the crisis continues to impact the mental state of many Americans, the places which traditionally help those affected with insanity issues are being put to the test and dealing with money issues as tax revenues lessen, and government funding dries up.
“The volatile spread of the virus underscores the importance of transforming insanity care in the United States and addressing the functional inequities cooked into the medical specialty organizations and insanity policy. Even before the virus scourge, folks with insanity disabilities faced many obstacles in accessing capable, inexpensive, and good care; this crisis has merely exacerbated these inequities.” The Places for American Advancement
