As COVID-19 spread throughout the United States, it not only resulted in greater morbidity and mortality but it also had disastrous effects on the mental health of the nation.
The pandemic is different than other “calamities” that impacted the United States, in certain regions or populations. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the entire population of the country.
Mental Health America (MHA), released their annual report, “The State of Mental Health in America” for 2022 and President and CEO Schroeder Stribling appears on Smart Talk Wednesday to analyze their findings.
