Impact of COVID on Mental HealthSubsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic, research has indicated that there has been an increase in people experiencing mental health problems, which may impact on productivity and result in absenteeism of employees and students alike.
The impact of COVID-19 on mental health can range from isolation and loneliness, unemployment and loss of income, leading to increased levels of alcohol and drug use, insomnia, depression and anxiety.
Promoting mental health and wellness is now more important than ever.

"Lundbeck South Africa recently engaged Charlene Sunkel from the Global Mental Health Peer Network to share her experience of living with schizophrenia. The talk was multi-faceted with information ranging from symptoms experienced, to medication, to treatment challenges. What stood out the most was Charlene’s incredible achievements, and her passion for patient advocacy. It was a compelling and enlightening talk and went a long way in helping to destigmatize schizophrenia. Thank you Charlene for being so open and sharing your journey with us!" ~ Lundbeck South Africa
