It’s tendencies can creep into the new patterns of our lives. It’s silent presence has the potential to be overlooked in this hypersensitive time to physical health and being virus free. We also may not recognize in coping with going through the side effects and symptoms that we have been concerned about as a global community we could be ending up in a more depressed state.
