New Survey Shows COVID-19 Pandemic Affecting Hawaiʻi Resident's Mental Health | KWXX

A recent survey commissioned by the Hawai‘i Department of Health showed more than half of Hawaiʻi residents have experienced a mental health condition that began during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Of those who experienced a mental health condition prior to the pandemic, 35% felt that their symptoms worsened during the pandemic.
The survey, conducted by Anthology Research between December 30, 2020 and January 11, 2021, included 445 adult Hawaiʻi state residents.
In a State of Hawaiʻi Department of Health statement, Amy Curtis, chief administrator of the Hawai‘i Department of Health’s Adult Mental Health Division, said “we’re all being affected by the pandemic, this is a real issue that calls attention to the need to be vigilant about meeting the needs of our neighbors, friends, co-workers and others in the community. We encourage everyone to continue to confide in family or friends, seek support from a therapist or to call the Department of Health’s Hawai‘i CARES hotline.”
