Esme Fuller-Thomson, senior author, professor at the University of Toronto's Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work and director of the Institute for Life Course & Aging "Many families experienced increased discord and conflict during periods of lockdown, which were coupled by declines in access to important coping mechanisms that can mitigate family stress, such as physical activity outside and time spent socializing with friends. This likely impacted the mental health challenges observed during the pandemic," said co-author Andie MacNeil, PhD student at FIFSW.
Increased time spent caregiving and/or challenges linked to caregiving were also associated with incident depression, which, like difficulties in accessing health care, approximately doubled the risk of incident depression.
