Happy together, stronger apart – mental health during a pandemic
“Keep social distance, wash your hands, and don’t contract the virus.”
It is easier said than done. In the past year, I stayed at home in Germany. My social interaction has decreased dramatically, and I feel alone, although I’m with my family. The uncertainty and battle against the invisible enemy take a significant toll on mental health – and I’m not alone with it.
Before, we used to go out with friends without worrying. But what happens once we go back to “normal”?
In this video, I interviewed Andreea, a student in London. “Certain areas have improved, but other areas, especially my social anxiety, I think certainly have worsened.”
A survey by mind.org called “The mental health emergency- How has the coronavirus impacted our mental health?” demonstrates essential information about the mental wellbeing of young people aged 13-24. Read the complete survey by clicking here.

I love this video! It’s so professional and you discuss the issues faced by so many in such a respectful and informative manner!
Stella, this is so well done! I love it, you can see the creativity and dedication that went into it.
I love how you edited this! Especially the music and illustrations. Mental health is definitely part of our overall care crisis and has become so much more severe during the pandemic. I think you communicated the survey results really cleverly, too. Can’t wait to see more of your work!
