In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by a massive 25%, according to a scientific brief released by the World Health Organization (WHO) earlier this month. The brief also highlights who has been most affected and summarizes the effect of the pandemic on the availability of mental health services and how this has changed during the pandemic. Concerns about potential increases in mental health conditions had already prompted 90% of countries surveyed to include mental health and psychosocial support in their COVID-19 response plans, but major gaps and concerns remain.
Ever since the beginning of the pandemic, an increasing amount of people are experiencing work-related stress. Work-related stress is the response people have when presented with work demands that are not matched to their knowledge and abilities. Learn how to manage work-related stress to become more productive and efficient at work.
