pandemic

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to surge in parts of our country, we are hearing reports of an increased incidence of mental health problems in our populations  (of citizens of various ages, genders, and other demographic characteristics).   

Reply by citing evidence of the increasing burden of mental health diagnoses/problems in the U.S. currently thanks to this ongoing Public Health crisis. 

Consider the following related question(s):  (1) WHO is being affected?  (2) WHAT are the diagnoses/problems we're seeing?  (3)WHY are folks manifesting these diagnoses/problems (beyond the obvious!).  (4)HOW are we handling this burden in the PH sector?
