Earlier this year, experts warned of a rise in suicides,overdose deaths, and mental health problems resulting from COVID-19 and its economic and social stressors. In this update, we look at how views have evolved with a vaccine now on the horizon.
If nine family members are left behind to grieve each of the nation s 320,000+ COVID-19 deaths, nearly 3 million Americans are grappling with loss on an unprecedented scale of mass bereavement.
But unlike past disasters in which communities could come together to heal, this one has kept them six feet apart. If you think of that bereavement as grief, that s not necessarily mental illness . that s just pain, emotional pain, that needs to be validated and normalized and expressed out loud, said Jessica Gold, MD, of Washington University in St. Louis. Until we really do that, I think we re kind of stalled in healing.

A new study by the University of California San Francisco has found that bisexual men are more likely to experience eating disorders than heterosexual or gay men.
That’s according to a study published in the journal
Eating and Weight Disorders, based on sampling more than 4,500 LGBTQ adults.
Prior studies have already found that gay men are at a higher risk of suffering from an eating disorder such as fasting or an obsession with weight, but bisexual men are apparently at an even greater risk.
MANSFIELD The seeds that grew into the miracle behind today s COVID-19 vaccines were actually planted more than three decades ago.
And as the inoculations against the novel coronavirus are ramped up around the United States and the world, medical experts are assuring the public the new vaccines are safe and effective, based on improving technology that began more than 30 years before COVID-19 emerged as a pandemic.
In fact, scientists and doctors are likely concerned even usage of the word miracle may cause innoculation hesitation among U.S. residents, who have seen pharmaceutical companies Pifzer/BioNTech and Moderna successfully develop the vaccines from lab to market in 10 months.
