Mental health stressors in Israel during the coronavirus pandemic.

Abstract

A survey of 503 Israelis, performed in April 2020, found high levels of anxiety and risk for depression; these mental health issues were associated with several stressors connected with the coronavirus and related policies. However, only a small percentage of the sample received mental health care from a professional, with native-born Israelis less likely than recent immigrants to receive such care. Some possible initiatives based on these findings are suggested. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
