Healio (6/22, Marabito) reports, “Adults with depressive symptoms used more humor and sarcasm to cope with challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic,” researchers concluded in a digital survey of “661 Canadian adults during the height of COVID-19 restrictions, between April 27 and July 17, 2020.” The survey study also revealed that “adults with anxiety used more sarcasm but less humor during the pandemic, and those with psychiatric disorders reported using more humor.” The findings were published online ahead of print in the August issue of the Journal of Psychiatric Research.
