Almost half of adults in a household experiencing income or job loss due to the coronavirus outbreak — and one-third of all Americans have — said their mental health has suffered due to the coronavirus outbreak, according to the latest Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking Poll released Wednesday.
"Those of us who've been let go from a job can feel as if we've lost our identity, due to the absence of the roles and relationships that give our lives meaning, and therefore we feel helpless," said Shauna Springer, chief psychologist for The Stella Center, who has spent a decade working with military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, also known as PTSD.
Despite a lack of medical care, most adults said their physical health has"stayed about the same" since the outbreak began. Only 8% said their health had gotten worse during the pandemic, and 6% said their physical health has gotten better."Most of those who have put off care due to coronavirus expect to get it soon," Kaiser Family Foundation president and CEO Drew Altman said."If they do, health care utilization may bounce back more quickly than the rest of the economy.

How many say their mental health has been horrible due to FAKE NEWS!!!🙋♀️
DUH. This is what happens when you pull the plug on the economy and lock people down.
Vibrantankles That’s one of the things I find stresses me out when I think of the US. In Australia you can get access to doctors who bulk bill if you need to see them when you are ill. If there anything like that in the States?
Gee, if only the politicians & MSM could be more HONEST & ENCOURAGING.
I blame you CNN and other news outlets like you for pushing fear rather then hopefulness. I guess it's true what they say Death and destruction make better headlines then good news and hopefulness.
