CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â May is Mental Health Awareness Month and some people may have felt stressed or anxious due to having to stay indoors because of the pandemic. Now people are able to go out to public events like the Buc Days carnival.
The CDC reports that anxiety and depression due to the pandemic have gone up at least 5%.
Things like getting together with friends at the carnival was non-existent last year and for some first-time carnival attendees like Victoria Smith, last year s quarantine was difficult because she was pregnant, so seeing her daughter make new friends at the carnival is giving her a sense of normalcy.
