COVID may not be affecting our children's physical health catastrophically, but it is ravaging their mental health in many ways—and the impact could linger, say OntariosDoctors OnHealth

For many parents, one of the few silver linings about COVID-19 was the fact that, at least initially, it didn’t seem to effect children severely.

The risks are even higher for children with pre-existing neurodevelopment issues such as autism, ADHD and learning disabilities, or kids from families facing financial stress, substance abuse or a history of mental health issues.“In the past year I’ve seen a skyrocketing in cases of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, inattention, obesity, eating disorders, obsessions, compulsions—and the list just goes on,” says Merchant.

into our emergency department and I know other [hospitals] across the country have seen the same,” he says. A report by Sick Kids earlier this year found about 40 percent of kids reporting anxiety.Based on anecdotal reports from teachers, Merchant says that some kids are behind academically and socially “by at least a year.” Still, she feels the mental health issues will be the ones that take longer to heal.

'Protected them to death': Elder-care COVID rules under fireBarbara and Christine Colucci long to remove their masks and kiss their 102-year-old mother, who has dementia and is in a nursing home in Rochester, New York. They would love to have more than two people in her room at a time so that relatives can be there too. I feel like the people most upset about this are also the same people who would sue the quickest if enough hadn't been done and their loved one died from Covid. Too bad. If one of my elderly relatives was at a nursing home (although I would never let that happen), no one would prevent me from a hug and a kiss.

Tracking Covid-19 vaccinations in the US“There is resistance out there that we have to overcome,” Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson says about the state’s lower vaccination rates. Hutchinson says the number of people not going back for a second dose has risen, which is “a concern.” Kamala Harris vs. Kamala Harris. The resistance is a lack of leadership at Governor and the right wing still claiming that Covid is over hyped, or the left is trying to 'chip' everyone, and the false notion it causes everyone blood clots. I hear this garbage every day.

I pray if they are to find something that will help with cancer then let it come to pass in the name of Jesus. God Bless us all 🥰😇
