> The Wuhan virus mess is creating a crisis in mental health as demand for therapy skyrockets.
> It's not just the virus, but also the stay-at-home orders and economic shutdowns that obliterate people's livelihoods and deprive them of normal human interaction.
> Therapists report demand for counseling tripled in the past year. Psychologist Frank Farley told USA Today this week, "We've had a sort of piling on of stressors, which I have never seen in my lifetime."
> In June, 40% of adults reported mental health problems, and 11% said they had thoughts of suicide.
> All this is even more evidence of how rough the past 10 months have been for many Americans.
> As for Catholics in particular, the faithful went without public Mass for months, as bishops and politicians colluded to cancel public worship.
> Normal religious services are still banned in some parts of the country — this, despite data suggesting weekly worship is good for mental health. For example, a study in 2019 linked religious practice with a lower rate of depression.
