Stress lingers even as the country starts to emerge from coronavirus pandemic
Columbia, Mo. (KMIZ)
More than a year has passed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and many are recovering from the associated isolation, anxiety and uncertainty.
The pandemic has caused more than 1 million deaths worldwide. Experts say that toll has contributed to mental health problems including anxiety, depression and other trauma and stress-related disorders.
The pandemic has been traumatic for some people, with severe stress lingering even months after cities and states have begun to reduce restrictions. Stress can cause sleeping problems and changes in appetite, increase substance abuse and worsen already existing physical and mental health problems.
