Anxiety is contagious.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the level of depression and anxiety in our community (and literally everywhere in the world) is at an all-time high. People live in fear of contracting the coronavirus for very good reasons. If the potential for severe illness isnât bad enough, many are also struggling to make ends meet while others are coping with the almost impossible task of caring for children while trying to work from home.

Multigenerational families canât help each other for fear of exposing older members to what can be a deadly illness. Thus, many of us are alone with our fears and anxiety, which only makes everything harder to bear. For most individuals and families, the pandemic has caused relentless, unprecedented daily stress.
