While many are focusing on the economic impact that the coronavirus is having all across the world, attention also needs to be paid to the toll that the virus and its lockdown is having on people's mental health. One thing that has not been focused on is the rise of suicides. People are unable to go to work, socialize with friends, or visit family.
For those that live by themselves and are lonely, the isolation is having an impact on their psyche, causing them to commit suicide. Along with that anxiety is rising, especially for those who are unemployed and do not know if there is a job they can return to.
