Mental Health have always been a hot topic in recent years especially when COVID hit and people had to stay home. It took a toll on mental health for a lot of people leading to an increase of an anxiety and depression for people around the world. Below is an article talking about this phenomenon https://www.who.int/news/item/02-03-2022-covid-19-pandemic-triggers-25-increase-in-prevalence-of-anxiety-and-depression-worldwide
