It appears from this article (here) that some mental health services have taken a ‘back seat’ to physical health services over the course of the lockdown. Additionally, more people than usual have developed mental health problems over this time. This combination of factors has had a negative impact which includes an increase in substance and alcohol misuse and even suicides. With society opening up again and the impact of the economic downturn being felt, mental health services remain under pressure. This means that an increase in mental health difficulties is likely to continue. The article includes some helpful telephone services that can be used in the event of a crisis and this one (here) describes the benefits of reaching out to such organisations.
