CNBC (4/6, Braverman) reports that as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, “more and more employees are dealing with stress, anxiety and isolation, and in the weeks or months ahead this may take a toll.” According to CNBC, “mental health experts agree that even after the immediate coronavirus crisis has passed, the impact on employees’ psyche could be lasting.” Darcy Gruttadaro, director of the American Psychiatric Association Foundations’ Center for Workplace Mental Health, said, “There is a real concern that we will see widespread anxiety, PTSD, depression, high suicide rates and a high incidence of substance abuse. We need to be ready for that, and we already have a fragile health-care system in this country.”
