Let&#8217;s take a look at SingleCare\u2019s mental health survey results that show how Americans are responding psychologically to the COVID-19 outbreak.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summary of our findings:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To understand how the pandemic has been affecting people&#8217;s mental health and well-being, SingleCare surveyed over 1,000 people. Here are the most revealing results:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">59% of survey participants said that COVID-19 has impacted their mental health<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">48% are concerned that quarantining\/sheltering-in-place has affected their mental health\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">36% have experienced weight gain as a result of the pandemic<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">32% of respondents said they&#8217;ve sought treatment or take medication for their mental health<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">33% think the cost of therapy\/doctor&#8217;s appointments is the biggest barrier to mental health care\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">58% have worried that they wouldn&#8217;t be able to afford their treatment or medication<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">59% said that COVID-19 has impacted their mental health<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nearly 6 in 10 survey participants say their mental health has been affected by COVID-19. While only 20% of people said they feel unaffected, most said they feel different in one way or another:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">29% of participants report feeling lonely<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">35% report feeling depressed<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">37% say they feel isolated\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">48% said they feel anxious<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">49% said they feel stressed out\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These results match national data on how COVID-19 is affecting mental health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/daily-life-coping\/managing-stress-anxiety.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CDC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) says that the most common reactions to COVID-19 are feeling stressed, guilty, socially isolated, and being concerned about protecting yourself or your loved ones from the virus.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you don&#8217;t get COVID-19, it can still affect your mental health and quality of life. There&#8217;s no doubt that this global pandemic is changing the way people think and feel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">48% are concerned that coronavirus isolation has affected their mental health<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effects of social isolation on mental wellness have been studied for decades by psychologists. It&#8217;s clear that social isolation isn&#8217;t healthy for humans, and with COVID-19 putting millions of people into isolation globally, there are sure to be consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twenty-nine percent of survey respondents reported feeling lonely\u2014a feeling associated with an increased risk for premature mortality. In 2015, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1745691614568352\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that social isolation could increase health risks as much as having an alcohol use disorder or smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Social isolation might have an even greater effect on the quarter of U.S. residents who <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/monitor\/2019\/05\/ce-corner-isolation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">live alone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">36% have experienced weight gain as a result of COVID-19<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s worth discussing the mind-body connection as well. While almost half of the respondents are concerned about how coronavirus isolation is affecting their mental health, it can also affect their physical health. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hormone.org\/your-health-and-hormones\/glands-and-hormones-a-to-z\/hormones\/cortisol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stress hormone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> cortisol can negatively impact the mind <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">body. In addition to worsened anxiety or depression, fluctuation in cortisol can also affect blood sugar levels, inflammation, memory, and metabolism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to our mental health survey data, weight gain is also a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Thirty-six percent of survey participants say they&#8217;ve gained weight during the pandemic. It may be because gyms and outdoor recreation sites are closed or because cortisol can affect metabolism, as mentioned above. Compared to increased anxiety and stress levels, weight gain was the third most common &#8220;symptom&#8221; of the pandemic that survey participants listed.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference in physical activities Americans are participating at this time could also contribute to weight gain. Fewer people reported walking outside, exercising, and getting enough sleep than before the pandemic. More people are watching TV and movies, and trying to socialize via phone calls and video chats. The following are activities our survey respondents reported using to improve their mental health before and during the coronavirus outbreak:<\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\"singlecare-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><span class=\"title\">Activities to improve mental health<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"header-row\">\n<td><b>Activity<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Before pandemic<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>During pandemic<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walking outside<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">59%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">48%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watching TV\/movies<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">55%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">53%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercising<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">45%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">38%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cooking<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">36%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">36%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reading<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">36%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">33%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting enough sleep<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">32%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prayer<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DIY\/crafts<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calls\/video chats<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">33%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spending time alone\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">32% of respondents said they&#8217;ve sought treatment or take medication for their mental health<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re experiencing changes to your mental health because of the coronavirus pandemic or anything else, there are treatments and medications that could help you feel better. It&#8217;s always best to speak with a doctor or mental health professional before starting a medication or any treatment, but here are some of the most popular mental health treatments to consider:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teletherapy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/what-is-teletherapy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teletherapy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a counseling session done over the phone or by video call. It&#8217;s especially relevant during this pandemic because it allows people to get the help they need in the safety and comfort of their own homes while still focusing on the importance of mental health.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CAM treats mental health issues with natural treatments and self-care remedies. Medications are often thought of as a last resort after one or more of the following haven&#8217;t worked:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meditation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yoga<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/st-johns-wort\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supplements<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Support groups\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes to diet<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medication<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are numerous medications that healthcare providers can prescribe to help people who are struggling with their mental health.

But a third of survey participants see price as the biggest barrier to mental healthcare.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s no doubt that health care in the U.S. can be expensive. One hour of counseling in the U.S. can cost anywhere from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thervo.com\/costs\/how-much-does-therapy-cost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$50 to $300<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> per hour. Some insurance plans will cover the cost of therapy, but some don&#8217;t, and many people can&#8217;t afford these types of rates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medications prescribed for mental health problems can also be expensive, but there are companies like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SingleCare<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that offer discounts on prescriptions. Even though therapy, doctor&#8217;s appointments, and medications can be costly, this shouldn&#8217;t keep someone from seeking help if they need it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">58% have worried that they wouldn&#8217;t be able to afford their treatment or medication<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost is obviously concerning for people regarding mental health treatments and medications. Thirty-five percent of respondents skipped medications to save money, and 43% skipped treatment appointments to save money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medication adherence is always important, but perhaps even more so for people with mental health conditions. Skipping medication could cause symptoms to worsen, and abruptly stopping a medication can cause serious side effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To save money on your medications, especially during this economic uncertainty, look for drug coupons like a SingleCare discount card. If you&#8217;re worried about going to the pharmacy to pick up your medications, know that many pharmacies offer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/singlecare-truepill-prescription-delivery\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prescription delivery services<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
