Over half of Americans feel alone when it comes to their mental health

Over half of Americans feel alone when it comes to their mental health, according to new research.

A new survey of 2,000 Americans analyzed the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their mental health and found that despite policy changes like mask mandates slowly lifting throughout the country,56% feel alone and struggle to share their struggles with friends and family.

Fifty-seven percent of those surveyed pointed to being less social as the top negative impact on their mental health.

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Cove by Feelmore Labs, the survey found 63% of respondents said their stress levels are currently at an all-time high due to the pandemic.

Just over two in five respondents shared poor sleep quality and an inconsistent sleep schedule are the top things they experience when they’re feeling stressed – with seven in 10 agreeing their stress levels would decrease if they were able to sleep better.
