People who stuck by Covid lockdown rules the most strictly have the worst mental health today, research has found.
Those who followed the restrictions most closely when the pandemic hit are the most likely to be suffering from stress, anxiety and depression, academics at Bangor University have found.
They identified that people with “communal” personalities – who are more caring, sensitive and aware of others’ needs – adhered the most rigorously with the lockdown protocols that Boris Johnson and senior medics and scientists recommended.
However, people with “agentic” personalities – who are more independent, more competitive and like to have control over their lives – were least likely to exhibit those behaviours.
“The more individuals complied with health advice during lockdown, the worse their wellbeing post-lockdown,” concluded Dr Marley Willegers and colleagues.
The fear of catching Covid proved both an upside and a downside, they found. “While increasing individuals’ worry of infection can effectively drive compliance, it also has negative consequences on people’s wellbeing and recovery,” they said.

“Communal” types displayed the highest levels of continuing disturbance to their mental wellbeing. However, “agentic” people had been able to “bounce back” better from lockdown mode.
Willegers, an academic at Bangor University’s institute for the psychology of elite performance, said some people found it hard to make the transition from receiving regular exhortations about following public health advice during the pandemic to no advice when lockdown ended.
“Throughout the pandemic messaging campaigns were designed to ensure people continued to follow the rules. But there was no messaging campaign as we came out of the pandemic to help everyone safely transition back to normality.
“Without this, certain personality types have retained infection prevention behaviour and anxiety that undermines their mental wellbeing,” he added.

Another reason Boris, Cummings, Hancock and that entire administration should be hanging from lampposts.
No ****, sherlock
Out of control government was out of control
A many not be that photogenic anymore, but I will always be A-gentic!
Think for yourself. Your first plan is to survive.
Be kind and honest as you can practically be.
But always have a plan to ‘neutralize’ any foe in your midst!
Correlation is not causation.
Finding this correlation could also indicate that those who had the worst lockdown experience were the ones with the mental health issues.
They cannot presume compliance with the lockdowns etc caused the mental illness as much as the mental illness made them more likely to buy the false narrative.
Leftists are full of mental illness. It’s a badge of honor among them. No wonder they’re still depressed over the idiotic responses of their government.
They need Jesus.
“suffering from
stress, anxiety and depression.”
Truly S.A.D.
I just recently sold an item purchased by my father for far too low a price because I didn’t do a good enough job of finding out its value beforehand.
I’m beating myself up over that one.
I can’t imagine what people who shot themselves up with this crap must be feeling.
I’ll get over my dumb dumb move in a few months, I’m confident. Life’s life stuff will consume my thoughts instead. And I’ll someone make up for my stupidity by putting in more effort on some other financial move somewhere or other that I might not have otherwise done.

How about:
People with the worst mental health
stuck by Covid lockdown rules the most strictly.
Finding this correlation could also indicate that those who had the worst lockdown experience were the ones with the mental health issues.
They cannot presume compliance with the lockdowns etc caused the mental illness as much as the mental illness made them more likely to buy the false narrative.

They were mental to begin with, that’s why they went along with the mandates. It’s not rocket science.
Were the people who stuck to the covid rules mentally stable in the first place?
“People who stuck by Covid lockdown rules the most strictly have the worst mental health today, research has found”
the question of course, is which is the cause and which is the effect?
You can always recover from financial mistakes....what you put in your body is another story altogther! Any medication should be researched otherwise your just a testing field to see if it works or not.
Predisposed as such before covid happened
Like how many happy leftists does anyone here know?
Unhappy childhoods
They hate their families and the west
Basically they externalize their neurosis on the world since they can’t accommodate themselves
Just look at all of them on tik tok and tv
Tons of fat miserable girls no hope of marriage so they demonize it conveniently
Sexually ambiguous young men
It’s endemic
And bodes poorly for all of us
Leftists have a fraction of the family making we do and yes I know all righties aren’t breeders but our somewhat responsible propagation rate is exponentially higher
I pushed back every chance I could. I’m not following rules that are stupid.
Or *rules* that were clearly designed to control me.
Or maybe the mentally weakest also were the ones that went along with it the most.
