I struggled to find, but the JAMA podcast (https://www.stitcher.com/show/jama-author-interviews https://www.stitcher.com/show/jama-author-interviews) had a good semi-recent interview of authors on an article on the covid bereavement major depression wave If I remember right, the authors estimated the scenario as: * Project 500K-750K excess deaths in the US until mass vaccine availability based on current public health practices (conservative/linear, ignoring exponentials involved) * Someone dying generally has ~10 people close to them => half will experience ~depression for 1mo, 1 quarter for 2mo * Something like 10-20% will have severe forms (major/ptsd/..) * So something like 3 million people across all of above That's a lot. Not quite as high as # of addicts in the US afaict, but up there. I could have easily got parts wrong, so worth going to the interview+article if you're truly interested. They also have some articles on depression in elderly and other groups being especially impacted right now. Pretty real.
