Roughly a third of the respondents to a widespread survey in the Netherlands indicated that they experienced more anxiety during the coronavirus pandemic than before. Similarly, around 30 percent of respondents reported suffering from increased sadness, stress levels, and loneliness. In addition, nearly 20 percent of respondents had trouble sleeping. COVID-19-inspired social distancing measures resulted in radical changes in social life, which is shown to have had a major impact on mental health in the present statistic. Interestingly, the decrease of social activities seems to have had a partially positive effect on stress levels, as more than 13 percent of the respondents said they experienced a lower amount of stress during the pandemic.
