Health & Mental Health

It can be argued that health and mental health is reflected throughout all the galleries.   Isolation can lead to depression and connection to joy. Racism and intolerance can cause fear, anger or anxiety. Service to others can be emotionally beneficial to both the recipient and the giver, and making change can give us resilience and hope. The images in this gallery, however, most directly reflect the health and mental health impact of coronavirus. There is the front page story of the husband being released from the hospital after surviving COVID-19. Others show going for a walk - for some it was relaxing, for others it created anxiety by being around others on a trail. There were also images that talked about insufferable anxiety and depression that was exacerbated by the coronavirus or feeling sad they could not be with family.
