SOUTH ABINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2022 / In a recent online article, industry-leading psychiatrist Ashok Bharucha takes the time to discuss the increase in mental illness over the past two years. Given the unprecedented circumstances surrounding COVID-19, many individuals have had to withstand various lockdowns while adhering to a wide range of social distancing mandates.

"Mental Health is unquestionably one of the most neglected areas of health globally. This was true before COVID-19 (coronavirus), but the pandemic has further exacerbated mental health and social well-being, especially among those who are very young, very old, or medically frail. Treatment of mental illness requires time, patience, and a multimodal approach that combines psychosocial and pharmacological interventions."

According to Ashok Bharucha, mental health across the globe has been greatly compromised. Due to increased social isolation, Ashok has noticed increased anxiety and depression rates among his patients and society as a whole. To complicate matters further, he claims that there is still a negative stigma around seeking mental help. He claims that platforms such as Telehealth are for now, a positive solution for those who are willing to reach out to a professional.
