You are conflating the emotion of grief with mental disorders.
It's pretty common nowadays, I find it quite strange.
My grandfather died when I was younger and it sucked. I still miss him.
But I could go to his funeral and hang out with my friends in the bar, go on holiday, study hard at University, etc, employ all of the normal time tested coping mechanisms.
Coronavirus restrictions deliberately took and removed almost everything it means to be human from people.
Sitting inside and only interacting with the world through a screen is obviously hilariously unhealthy.

I've got relatives in Australia, and I live in New York state; both are on the heavier restrictions side, and the idea of describing our lives as having "removed almost everything it means to be human" is baffling to me.

I have _still_ not been able to practice many of my hobbies because the legal framework has made it impossible to plan forward more than a week or so. Is it a gulag? No. Is it worth it? Worth what? Coronavirus is a 1% IFR disease, lower with vaccines. Boring.
