I hope everyone isn't being dismissed as having anxiety or whatever.  That's something that prevailed in the 60s and 70s, particularly for women, and I would hope that we have moved beyond that.

Having said that, there is a lot of post Covid pandemic mental healtg issues,  and I would say that doctors and patients alike are dealing with that. [/quote]

COVID was not nor is the issue. [/quote]
