The mental health of three out of four Australians has been affected by COVID-19 as concern for the future, stress and anxiety and take a toll, a survey has found

The mental health of three out of four Australians has been affected by COVID-19 as concern for the future, stress and anxiety and take a toll.

The service's CEO, Keith Garner, said the fact a fifth of those experiencing mental health symptoms said they did not seek support showed stigma was still a barrier.

The study of more than 400 people found Beyond Blue's online and phone counselling services to be effective, and those who used it were likely to take further action to improve their mental health within three days, making them feel less distressed and less hopelessness. After a session with a mental health professional, distress levels dropped by an average of 42 per cent and people's ability to cope improved by an average 32 per cent.

Sydney nurse tests positive to COVID-19 as NSW records three new casesNSW has recorded just two new locally acquired cases of COVID-19, including a nurse who tested positive after working at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney while infectious. 'recorded' and 'reported', which is not the same as 'there are'. Should be more than ten times cases, everywhere in the community. Enjoy, such an incapable government. RubyPrincess The real question is, do we Australians believe in Science? One case can spread the virus to the entire nation. Numbers here will only make things worse.
