Lincoln – Nov. 3 is International Stress Awareness Day, and stress has been heightened everywhere by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), when polled in February 2021, 33.8 percent of adults in Nebraska reported symptoms of anxiety or depression, with more than half of Americans reporting that COVID-19 has had a negative impact on their mental health. Adding in stress related to every day worries about finances, family issues and work, can amplify anxiety and depression. At the height of the pandemic, public health actions, such as social distancing, were necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and social isolation is still recommended for individuals who experience COVID-19 symptoms or test positive for the virus. While there are always situations in which we don’t have control, learning to cope with stress in a healthy way will help you, the people you care about, and those around you become more resilient.
