We are living in a time where there is so much going on, that it is keeping most if not all of us too close to the edge, the young, the old and the restless.
At no other time have so many elementary school age children have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. The elderly, also have been tremendously affected by depression and anxiety due to loneliness and other factors. There are many culprits that are causing depression and anxiety. It's not just the Pandemic, its racial tensions, politics, police brutality, inner city senseless killings due to our lenient gun laws, food, housing, medical and the list goes on and on, these are just a few. The uncertainty of where we're headed, and how we're going to get there masked up and vaccinated or the alternative. None of us appear to be ready for this new normal.
Whatever it is, depression and anxiety will follow, and it affects the rich and poor, the haves and the have nots. No one is immune. We need the proper tools to meet them both head on.
