Young People Hit Hardest by Lockdown Blues

May 01, 2021 08:42 Young people have been the biggest victims of lockdown blues after more than a year has passed since the coronavirus epidemic started and no end is in sight. Lockdowns are expected to continue until the end of the year as infections continue to rise, while bans on large gatherings remain in place. Last year, some 1 million people in Korea were treated for depression and other mood disorders, up around 240,000 compared to 2016. Patients in their 20s accounted for 16.8 percent followed by people in their 60s and 50s. Many people in their 20s were being treated for depression even before the epidemic, but the age group had never surpassed patients over 60. Mental health experts believe a tough job market exacerbated by the epidemic and increased time spent alone at home have only fanned mood disorders among the young, who are naturally more gregarious than older people and feel the restrictions more keenly.
