Stop the Lockdowns, For Mental Health's Sake

SYDNEY - Dec. 11, 2020 - PRLog -- In an official statement released by the Workplace Mental Health Institute (WHMI) on November 20, Mr. Peter Diaz, the CEO of the WHMI, is urging governments and local authorities to stop the lockdowns for mental health's sake, while wholeheartedly encouraging people across the globe to reach out for qualified help. This position statement is part of the WMHI's ongoing efforts to raise awareness of the devastating impacts of government-imposed lockdowns and other restrictions on citizens' mental health and well-being in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Lockdowns (around the world) have led to an increase in rates of depression of up to 300%"

As the world's premier mental health solution, the WMHI has spearheaded an anti-lockdown campaign to pro-actively address the root cause of the staggering, historic rise in Covid-19-linked depression of up to 300%, as well as stress, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, especially among younger individuals and women. Whilst the short lockdowns made sense at the beginning of the pandemic, when scientists and medical doctors knew very little of the novel coronavirus, the fact that lockdowns continue to be imposed around the world is perversely nonsensical from a mental health perspective.

" A disaster of epic proportions, leading to a tsunami of mental health outbreaks"

As the ongoing, extensive use of Covid-19 lockdown policies have already pushed mankind on the verge of a global mental health crisis, Mr. Peter Diaz expresses deep concern over the snowball effect of these draconian measures on people's mental health and well-being. "Lockdowns are the cause of a lot of pain and suffering in the form of depression, loneliness, anxiety, substance abuse, domestic violence, self-harm, and even suicide", laments Mr. Diaz. Many people around the world with no pre-pandemic mental health problems have experienced severe mental distress since the lockdowns, resulting in an unprecedented surge in individuals seeking mental health help. But even developed nations are ill-prepared for this ongoing disaster.
