It isn’t just the physical health that COVID-19 has impacted, mental health around the world has been displaying a rapid decline. From anxiety, stress, depression to even more severe symptoms, such as suicidal tendencies, the Pandemic has been affecting individuals everywhere.

With face-to-face help currently on pause, more people are turning to the internet, from seeking professional help, finding modern methods to cope such as apps and even loved-ones of those struggling wanting to know how to become a therapist to know what to say and do should someone they care about need help.

A recent study was conducted to see exactly how Americans have been coping during the pandemic over the last 6 months. This study looked into the number of downloads for mental wellbeing apps, such as Headspace from January to September of this year. Alongside this, Google Searches for the same period were analysed to see the rise in interest for Therapy, wellbeing and meditation-related search terms.
