The fact that finances, anxiety and stress affect our lives and our feelings is known, and in the ongoing corona pandemic, health care is now trying to prepare so that more and more people may need help with their mental illness.

- We are trying to predict what public health will be like, and we need to prepare plans to meet the need for a higher degree of mental illness. People who would otherwise not have been at risk for mental illness may have become so, says Carin Tyrén.

Fear of physical visits

Furthermore, she says that they have not yet encountered increased pressure, but it may also have to do with people being afraid to seek care.

- We have seen that people are afraid to apply for physical visits.

In what way are people affected by corona pandemic?

- It affects different. It may be about worrying about their living. Not being able to live your life as you are used to. Difficulty in relationships, easier to abuse. Concern and stress are very much in danger. It is also about more existential issues, how we live our lives and how we re-evaluate, says Carin Tyrén.
