Coronavirus — and the subsequent lockdowns — has prompted various crises for Americans across the nation. Feelings of being trapped at home are issues for certain people, as are financial concerns about paying the bills and keeping roofs over heads.
Mental health is also a factor as the nation grapples with coronavirus. This is a matter that Hollywood superstar and pro-wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson talked about yesterday. The Rock drew attention to the importance of mental health during an Instagram Live chat with California Governor Gavin Newsom.
The Rock on Mental Health in the Era of COVID-19
During The Rock’s chat with Newsom, he discussed the various aspects of coronavirus that can trigger issues with mental health. Social distancing, being away from loved ones, deaths from the virus, and unemployment concerns are details that the wrestling superstar pointed out.
Shortly thereafter, The Rock explained that even the most upbeat and optimistic people in the world don’t have immunity from mental health struggles. Using himself as an example, the Hollywood mogul explained that prior to the CDC’s social distancing recommendations, he used to spend time with friends to boost his emotional state.
