We geared up, put on masks and there was mass panic trying to get sanitizer equipment toilet paper,gloves and protective gear. Hospitals and Morgues were overrun. People were confined in their houses, businesses closed. Schools closed along with churches. We had to adjust to a new reality in the world. Our friends and family members became sick and many died. Over 800,000 in America died and Millions became sick. This mass adjustment to this virus brought on many mental illnesses, Depression, Anxiety and Grieving for loss loved ones. By the fall of 2020 Vaccines came into being. This also caused anxiety with people refusing to take the vaccine and rumors and conspiracy theories abounding with bizarre things that may happen to you such as "putting a chip in your body". Poisoning you and killing mass number of peop for population control. None of this happened the country was and is split between Vaxxers and Anti Vaxxers. This has caused more anxiety and confusion. The result of this virus has been mass adjusment disorder, depression. anxiety and in some cases violence. The inability of people to "adjust" to reality has caused a great deal of mental illness in America. And there is no clear end in sight for the mental illness. Covid is subsiding as of this writing. Masks are coming off but the mental damage in America continues. We in the profession of helping people see it daily.
