This study explored the change in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma in 167 females over the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. While those with previous mental health issues reported greater symptoms, the magnitude of change in wellbeing was similar for both treatment-seeking and non-treatment-seeking groups. This suggests that individuals without prior mental health issues may be unexpectedly vulnerable, highlighting the need for broader mental health support and preventative strategies.
