Fox News
Nearly four years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. population is still experiencing “collective trauma," per a new survey from the American Psychological Association.
Adults between the ages of 35 and 44 reported the highest spike in chronic health conditions since the pandemic, rising from 48% in 2019 to 58% in 2023, according to an APA press release. "Although we appear to be back to normal since the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans are experiencing greater levels of stress and reporting higher levels of physical and mental health challenges." "The rise in chronic illness and mental illness among adults aged 35 to 44 is clearly due to the stress and anxiety provoked by lockdowns and mandates, fear of the virus and the rampant divisiveness." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
