Marking a year since COVID-19 was declared a worldwide emergency, Utah health experts are warning of what one called “a second pandemic within that pandemic.”
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health has likely not been fully realized yet, but studies are already showing concerning trends, including increases of anxiety, depression and substance abuse in the state and nationwide, local mental health experts said in a virtual news conference hosted by the University of Utah’s Huntsman Mental Health Institute.
“A year ago today, we began to go into a circumstance that we’ve never had before in our lifetimes,” Dr. Mark Rapaport, CEO of the Huntsman Mental Institute, said Thursday.
