Probing Mental Health Invisibilities during a Global Pandemic

Abstract

With much attention devoted to physical health, what unseen consequences are emerging for mental health throughout the COVID-19 pandemic? The worldly disruption of COVID-19 casts rippling effects that penetrate the bodies and spirits of people experiencing this historical moment. Many of these ripples are subtle and difficult to trace. Peering into the waters muddied by COVID-19, we explore the subtle ripples, particularly the unseen mental health implications during this pandemic. In doing so, we issue questions as departure points for scholars and practitioners to consider for future research and practice in the changing landscape of our current world.
