People are social animals. We aren't designed to be wearing masks, not touching each other, and quarantining. Yet for the last six months, that's been our predicament. At the same time, we are increasing our dependence on digital socializing through social media and have significantly increased our collective screen times and subsequent exposure to toxic blue light at all hours of the day and night. The whole scenario is a perfect set-up for individuals already susceptible to depression or other mental health issues. In fact, people who have never experienced any psychological issues in the past are now experiencing it for the first time because of the inorganic nature of our current lifestyles. Divorces, domestic violence, and suicide rates have dramatically increased across the country. Yet, this kind of fall-out from Covid-19 have not been appreciated adequately in the media and recognized as considerations in the big picture of pandemic-era policy. The non-medical, non-economic consequences of the pandemic are real and have had a huge negative impact on many of our lives. To hear about what's going on out there in this part of human existence, this week's Wealth Formula Podcast features a conversation with therapist and personal coach, Joel Wade. If Covid has got you down, make sure to listen to this conversation!
