Article Analysis

The health care article is authored by JoAnn Snorderly, a staff writer who wrote it on 21st December 2020. The article entails different aspects of mental and addiction services which need to increase during the post-pandemic. The article points out that in Western Virginia, multiple overdoses have been over-wheeled, taken to consideration by the department of public health (Snorderly). This public health response aims to ensure people are healthy when there are many opioids in the area, which acts as overdose relievers. Another essential point to note in this article is that mental health issues have increased more so on individuals who use hard drugs such as heroin. This aspect has impacted the individuals working in cognitive treatment centers to wake up in their work and curb the issue (Snorderly). Another critical point raised in the article is that Matthew, the director of drug control, points out that the COVID 19 pandemic has impacted social connections.

In response, the article is well presented where for instance, it indicates the year published and the author who wrote it. Additionally, the article's points are well supported with explanations and kept evidence from other scholars. Nonetheless, the report entails some sub-divisions which have topics to point out what is asserted on the paper. The article's overall opinion is that; the pandemic has influenced drug use and addiction in West Virginia, and many drug users, more so who use hard drugs, have been diagnosed with mental health issues. The article covers the title well, involving drug use aspects and its relation to overdose and cognitive issues. The author seems trustworthy and uses unbiased language, which is well understood. I would thus end up recommending the article to other people, more so the drug control units.
