People have been afraid of catching the coronavirus. Unemployment, disconnection from enjoyable activities and social interaction have also been major stressors during this time.

The Kaiser Family Foundation has stated that 4 in 10 adults reported symptoms of depression or anxiety disorder during the pandemic, up from 1 in 10 in 2019.
