To ask about your experience of Covid

[Magschoice]

From a mental health perspective?

Could you indicate yes or no, as to whether the pandemic has impacted on your mental wellbeing; whether it be struggles with anxiety, depression, persistent low mood, suicidal ideation or any other mental health conditions which you have developed at some point over the last year.

I will start by saying yes. It has impacted on my mental health. I was in a very bad place last summer. Better now, but still a daily struggle for me. Convinced I wouldn’t have been like this if it wasn’t for covid

I've had previous mental health problems, tried to take my own life a few years ago, but surprisingly my mental health has been pretty stable through the pandemic!

My wife on the other hand, she is a ICU nurse, I'm 99% sure she is suffering with PTSD, from what she has had to deal with the last year, but more so the last few months!

Glad you are doing okay! Sorry to hear about your wife. I worry about the long term impact on our medical staff
