There is no denying the unintended health, social, and economic consequences of the COVID-19 lockdowns and social isolation. Since the first lockdown in March our country has experienced 16 million people losing their jobs, increased drug overdoses and suicides, increased depression, and widespread social unrest. The National Bureau of Economic Research released a study (July 2020) indicating a 131% increase in domestic violence complaints in May 2020 due to lock-downs and stay-at-home policies. Four US cities showed 10-27% increase in domestic violence during the lockdown period. According to the Washing Post, overdose cases rose to 18% in March, 29% in April, and 42% in May. The Well Being Trust (WBT), and the Robert Graham Center for Policy Studies in Family Medicine and Primary Care recent analysis anticipates an additional 75,000 deaths from alcohol and drug misuse and suicide due to the COVID pandemic. Unfortunately, we have seen low reporting efforts on mainstream media to inform the masses, and, therefore; many Americans cannot anticipate or prevent the potential harm they may be doing themselves or their families. Even though these findings may look dismal, there are many positive things we can do to help each other, our families, and our community. If you know of anyone who is troubled and needs help, find mental health resources in your community. Seek out a wellness coach for support involving stress management, life balance, sleep therapies, and nutrition. A healthy whole foods diet is paramount in maintaining a strong immune system and mental health as well as increasing your levels of vitamin D, vitamin C, and zinc. Taking and being in control of your situation starts with learning more about how the pandemic affects your health, and ways to reduce your potential risk.
