A study on calls to crisis help lines in 19 countries shows a striking similarity in the pandemic's toll on mental health.
As the coronavirus spread across borders early in the pandemic, calls to global help lines showed a striking similarity in the toll on mental health — from China to Lebanon, Finland to Slovenia.

Call patterns in those two countries followed upswings and downswings in infections and government restrictions, and the concerns raised were similar to those early in the pandemic.
