Interesting, #removing #meat from your #diet is shown to #correlate with #depression https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar.. Good job the #eu and #wef want us to stop #eating #meat !
The #result of #covid #lockdowns are now being #discovered , with some 60k #uk #children with #clinical #depression https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/lockd.. This is supposed to be significantly higher than pre-lockdown numbers. Thank goodness we #sacrificed the #healthy #youth of today for now dead 97 year olds of yesterday.
Apparently #covid has caused 4 million excess #deaths in #india - 10% of the directly recorded deaths from the #pandemic https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-in.. The #bbc suggest that is means #covid is more dangerous than originally thought... But it could also mean that the prevention methods for #covid are worse than the #virus itself. Other people have considered the possibility of #foodinsecurity as a factor. I've personally witnessed a massive rise in #depression in India too.
Apparently the number of men self-reporting to have no or little close friends has quadrupled in the last 30 years: https://theweek.com/us/1001987/men-losin..

According to this WIP article, #suicide rates over the #covid #lockdown period have actually gone down, despite #depression increasing: https://worksinprogress.co/issue/why-did.. This flies in the face of previous assumptions about the effect of lockdowns on the population. This leads to the idea that depression and suicide are not as directly related as previously thought.
