Depression, anxiety incidence rising during state of emergency

The number of people suffering from at least moderate depression and anxiety has increased in the Czech Republic during the coronavirus epidemic, according to a study conducted by four researchers from the Institute for Democracy and Economic Analysis (IDEA). At the beginning of the epidemic, one-fifth of adults in the Czech Republic had symptoms of depression, which was roughly three times more than before the state of emergency. The situation had a worse impact on women, young people and those who saw a significant decline in their income.
