I suspect it will be even worse here in the US...but we go on being stupid and submitting to useless lockdowns!
Early in the coronavirus pandemic, scientists warned that economic lockdowns could cause serious mental health repercussions.
"Secondary consequences of social distancing may increase the risk of suicide," researchers noted in an April 10 paper published by the American Medical Association. "It is important to consider changes in a variety of economic, psycho-social, and health-associated risk factors."
Essentially, researchers warned, forced isolation could prove to be “a perfect storm” for suicide.
Seven months later, new evidence is emerging to suggest these researchers were right.

I agree and in this case it sure is, a massive number of job losses, social isolation, not being able to see to other people, medical needs with major damage to the economy. Precautions is one thing, this was extreme overkill and an out of control Government.
