If you want to see mental health problems, force people into social isolation for 18months, tell them strangers can kill them by not hiding their faces, food and surfaces are contaminated, there is conspiracy to eugenicize them encoded in history books and symbols, words don't mean what they think they do, truth is what you make it, their neighbours are part of a plot, reinforce the filter bubbles of the information they consume, elevate and exalt unstable personalities, debase the media of the culture they trusted, reveal that their electronics are spying on them, and wait for it - then give them access to cheap and plentiful THC concentrates on every corner. How do you think that's going to play out? It's a perfect storm. Some of my close friends are among what I call the professionally sane (they work in mental health) and they seem as susceptable to delusion and paranoia as anyone. I don't worry about being crazy anymore, as when you see what the bar is, I only need to be be less crazy than most of everyone else. 80th percentile is sufficient for most purposes. Post pandemic, mental health isn't something you manage or exercise, it's just a poker game. Like a fox. ;)
