WHY IS THERE AN INCREASED RATE OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY NOWADAYS

Since the start of the pandemic, anxiety, and depression cases have risen worldwide. This is attributed to changes in lifestyle practices imposed by COVID measures such as lockdown and isolation. Nowadays, there are more stress factors than ever before, including; social isolations, loneliness, inability to seek physical help from family or friends during challenging times, worries about infection, lack of proper mental care, substance abuse in younger people, social media pressure, loss of loved ones to the pandemic, job constraints and exhaustion especially in health workers all increasing mental problems in the population.

Nutritionist, Cornell University, MS

I believe that nutrition science is a wonderful helper both for the preventive improvement of health and adjunctive therapy in treatment. My goal is to help people improve their health and well-being without torturing themselves with unnecessary dietary restrictions. I am a supporter of a healthy lifestyle – I play sports, cycle, and swim in the lake all year round. With my work, I have been featured in Vice, Country Living, Harrods magazine, Daily Telegraph, Grazia, Women's Health, and other media outlets.
