As a part of this historical moment, the wellness
issue that I believe is considered important to
explain current society is the effects of the current
pandemic, COVID-19. The trickle-down effects of
this pandemic are much different than historical
pandemics such as Ebola, Sars or the Swing Flu.
With COVID-19 having a much high transmission
rate it triggered a major impact on the overall
wellness of society. Looking at the devastation
from a mental health perspective that resulted from
the lock down is catastrophic. The impact on
people’s lives is devastating, loss of life, having to
close their business, financial distress, loss of
freedom, and the economic dive. With all the
changes to the world, the added stress and anxiety
has caused a negative impact that contributes to
the overall mental health wellness of our society.
