Anxiety and depression due to the pandemic could remain for years
Levels of anxiety and depression remained high between lockdowns and
worsened in the second lockdown, found researchers

Women experienced more mental distress than men
The number of people suffering high levels of anxiety and depression
rose by more than a third during the pandemic. It's a mental health
crisis which looks likely to remain for years to come, according to a
study using data from our volunteers and 10 other studies.

The research ran from March 2020 to March 2021. It investigated various
stages of the pandemic, including two lockdowns and a period in which
restrictions were eased. This data was then compared to data seven years
before the Covid-19 pandemic.

The researchers were particularly concerned to find that the high levels
of anxiety and depression they found early in the pandemic continued at
similar levels, even after the first lockdown lifted. It then became
worse during the second lockdown.

This suggests increased levels of mental health problems are likely to
continue for some time, even though all restrictions have now been
lifted, the researchers said.

The substantial deterioration in mental health seen in the UK during the
first lockdown [from March to June, 2020] did not reverse when lockdown
lifted, and a sustained worsening was observed across the pandemic

Kishan Patel
Lead Researcher, University College London
The study found a 29% increase in the number of people with
psychological distress – an umbrella term for symptoms of anxiety and
depression – from April to June 2020, compared to before the pandemic.

This rose to 36% compared to the pre-pandemic level between October 2020
and February 2021, with no notable reduction during the lifting of
lockdowns in summer 2020.

The second lockdown ran from early November to early December 2020 and
the third from early January to March 2021.

We found a sustained decrease in mental health. There was a lot of talk
that lifting lockdown measures would automatically return people back to
normal but our results suggest that wasn’t the case at all.

Given the sustained deterioration of mental health during the pandemic,
I would think that it would still be sustained now [after the study
period ended] and into the future. As long as the pandemic exists, I
would say it’s highly likely that high psychological stress will continue

Kishan Patel
Lead Researcher, University College London
The study also found that women were more affected than men. It showed a
33% increase in the occurrence of mental distress in women from April to
June 2020 compared to a 16% increase in men.

This is partly thought to be because women take on most of the extra
caring duties. They also make up the bulk of the front-line healthcare
workforce, who have been put under particular pressure by the pandemic.

People aged 25 to 44 experienced the sharpest decline in mental health
across the pandemic. That could be because this age group is more likely
to have children to care for and home school during lockdowns.

Researchers said that people in this age category were also more likely
to experience mental distress anyway, regardless of the pandemic,
compared to other age groups.

Given this, it is possible that psychological distress levels could go
even higher in the future. However, that is a possibility rather than a
prediction, Dr Kishan said.

The study was, sadly, unsurprising.

Many of us have found the pandemic very difficult to cope with for
different reasons – including fears about getting sick, feelings of
loneliness during lockdowns, concerns about finances and uncertainty
about the future.

Recent estimates suggest there are 1.6million people waiting for mental
health treatment and another eight million who could benefit from mental
health services but aren’t deemed unwell enough to be eligible to access
them.

Jess D'Cruz
Mind (Mental Health Charity)
We’ve all felt the sting of being separated from family and prevented
from doing the things we love in the recent years, but this research
shows that for many of us, the pandemic has taken a more severe toll.

Recovery won’t be linear, and as we now careen into a cost of living
crisis and continue to deal with the aftershocks of the pandemic, it is
vital that the government acts swiftly to ensure that people have access
to the support they need.

This has to be a cross government approach to support people with
aspects like housing, employment, finances and connecting with their
communities, which we all need to be able to survive and to thrive.

Brian Dow
Chief Executive, Rethink Mental Illness
The study was published in JAMA Network Open and funded by the
Government’s UK Research and Innovation body. It looked at data from
49,993 people enrolled in 11 separate studies, including Generation
Scotland volunteers, who responded to surveys about their mental health
before and during the pandemic.

Before the pandemic, about 10 - 20% of volunteers met the criteria for
mental distress. This proportion varied from one study group to the next.

The study involved the universities of Bristol, Glasgow and Edinburgh,
and the Bradford Institute for Health Research and the full publication

The only *healthy* way to stop the pandemic, thereby saving lives, in
the U.K. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19

among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John

doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage
mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via

LIE.

color of my face red for those who can see me.

these:

Such are the lies coming from the lying pens of the
http://bit.ly/terribly_hungry (Genesis 25:32) commentators.

That which is "spiritual" is independent of time so that there
would've been no reference to "now."

Therefore, the LORD is referring to physical hunger here instead of
the spiritual "hunger and thirst for righteousness" elsewhere in
Scripture.

Indeed, physical hunger can **not** coexist with physical thirst
because the latter results in the loss of saliva needed for physical
hunger.

It is when we hunger for food "now" (Luke 6:21a) that we are able to
eat food "now."

No such time constraints exist for "spiritual hunger."

Moreover, the perspective of Luke 6:21a through the eyes of a
physician (i.e. Dr. Luke) would be logically expected to be physical
instead of spiritual.

All glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD for His compelling you to
unwittingly demonstrate your ever worsening cognitive condition which
is tragically a consequence of His cursing (Jeremiah 17:5) you more
than ever.

Laus DEO !

(in a vain attempt to refute posts about being wonderfully hungry)

> Psalms
> 81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
> open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Indeed, receiving a mouthful (Psalm 81:10) of manna from GOD will only
make His http://HeartMDPhD.com/Redeemed want even more, so that we're
even http://bit.ly/wonderfully_hungrier with all glory (
http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD.

Laus DEO !

> Proverbs


> 13:25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the
stomach of

Indeed, the righteous know to be satisfied (Luke 6:21a) with an omer
(Exodus 16:16) of manna, while the wicked need (Proverbs 13:25) this
knowledge as evident by their eating until they are full (i.e.
satiated).

> Joel
> 2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of
> the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
> people shall never be ashamed.

Indeed, an omer (32 ounces per Revelation 6:6) of manna is plenty
(Joel 2:26) with all glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD and to
the shame of you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned.

Laus DEO ! !

> Psalms
> 107 For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good
things.

Indeed, being filled (Psalm 107:9) with an omer (Exodus 16:16) of
manna is a Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6) thing while being satiated (i.e.
full) is evil.

> Acts
> 14:17 "Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by
> giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying
> your hearts with food and gladness."

In the interim, you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned, will
never be satisfied (Acts 14:17) because you are ever more cursed
(Jeremiah 17:5) by GOD.

John was a Jew instead of a Greek so there is really no reason to

John also wrote earlier at John 5:14 that LORD Jesus commands:

"Now stop sinning or something worse may happen to you." (John 5:14)

And, indeed, your being eternally condemned (Mark 3:29) & ever more
cursed (Jeremiah 17:5) by GOD, as evident by your ever worsening
cognitive deficits, is really worse.

Now again, here's how to really stop sinning as LORD Jesus commands

Again, this is done in hopes of convincing all reading this to stop
being http://bit.ly/terribly_hungry (2 Kings 6:29) where all are in

Slant eyes are a superficial characteristic. While they may be
relevant to sex appeal, they have no relevance to honor, decency, and
integrity.

You are a Nazi.

As a Nazi, you are, above all else, a craven coward.

You are afraid to compete with others as equals because you know you
can not measure up.

You are afraid of your own inadequacy, so you want to murder your
betters.

You are afraid of the truth, so you want to murder those who would
tell it.

You are afraid of history, so you want to murder the past, to wipe
out the knowledge of the degeneracy, cowardice and failure of National
Socialism.

Finally, you are afraid of the power of educated, informed adults.
Freedom of choice terrifies you… which is why you choose minor children
as sexual partners. You can not interact with competent adults in a
consensually sexual way. You need to be able to impose yourself on a
helpless victim, be it a prepubescent boy, or a patient in a mental
hospital.

That is what you are, a Nazi, and there is nothing polite or honest
about it.
