“Recessions are bad for mental health, but the combination here of social dislocation and really the social impact on top of the economic impact has been a real tsunami of difficulties,” he told Sky News. “We really need to greater our capacity to respond, and we need to make sure people get effective help when they do come forward.” Professor Hickie said relaxed social restrictions in Victoria due to be announced on Sunday would be an important step in the right direction.
“Being able to meet with those people you love, being able to spend time with people and connect, is a critical part to any mental health response.” One of the major problems with mental health care in Australia, Professor Hickie said, is the clustered nature in wealthy parts of city environments. “It doesn’t tend to reach those in the outer urban and regional areas,” he said.
Recycled news from Sky. This has been reported, explored and debated for months. Indirect pressure on Sky for some 'hidden agenda' Tsk Tsk exploiting the mental health of others to pursue a political agenda

Yes, most of us are just in a state of disbelief that we voted for any of them and as for the ones we didn’t vote for running the show 🙄🔫
Add to that the idiotic push by all economists encouraging folk to spend spend&keep spending until your purse is bare &empty is the most absurd advice conceivable&illustrates how fuct economic thinkers are. Folk need to be saving saving saving for when times are bad such as now
All the lies and propaganda spread by economists are coming home to roost. 1.2m temp work visa holder, & 600k plus Kiwis equate with 16% of our work of 12.5m add 2 million unemployed Aust, that comes to 32% all vying for limited work vacancies, is a social disaster & disgrace.
