Retake quiz

While Covid-19 has taken a visible toll on our physical well-being, its less visible impact on our mental health is equally significant. Working from home and being socially distanced mean we often struggle alone.

Globally, cases of depression and anxiety have spiked. A study published in the Lancet estimated 76 million extra cases of anxiety and 53 million extra cases of depression in 2020. A Gallup study found reports of worry, stress, sadness and anger set new records that same year.

At the same time, people around the world are actively finding ways to heal and pull together. Google’s search data for 2021 showed people looking up terms such as “how to heal”, “how to stay strong”, “how to be resilient” and “how to be hopeful”.

By giving mental well-being the attention it deserves, together we can hope to address this hidden pandemic and better prepare ourselves for the uncertainties ahead.
