WASHINGTON (CN) Around half of American adults say the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted their mental wellbeing, and one-third of those adults have said there was a time in this past year that they did not get the mental health care they needed most often because they couldn’t afford it or couldn’t find it.
A year of isolation, stress and trauma has only worsened the United States’ long standing mental health crisis, and experts told lawmakers on Wednesday that it’s not going away anytime soon: we need to prepare for further decline.
“We have to address the unseen scars of trauma, depression, addiction and other mental health issues,” said Democratic Senator Patty Murray of Washington at a hearing Wednesday of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which she chairs. “The reality is healing those scars will not be quick or easy. It will take years and we need to act accordingly.”
