Depression amidst COVID-19

When your day is long

And the night, the night is yours alone

When you’re sure you’ve had enough

Of this life, well, hang on

Don’t let yourself go

‘Cause everybody cries

Everybody hurts sometimes

            R.E.M., Everybody Hurts, 1993

We’re approaching the one year mark when more than 100 countries around the globe had put in place a full or partial lockdown or some form of restriction on movement due to COVID-19. To say that this pandemic has had and continues to have a significant impact in our normal daily lives is an understatement.
