The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the pressure on people’s mental health. The times we are currently experiencing are having a major impact on our mental health and put us at risk of developing mental health problems, and will be discussed in more detail at the HIMSS & Health 2.0 European Digital Event (7-11 September 2020). Uncertainty, fear and isolation are creating anxiety.
