I would never have imagined that I would be affected by depression in my life. After all, I lead a healthy lifestyle, work out regularly, have social relationships - I consider myself an outgoing, happy person with a healthy attitude.

Even the WHO put together a brief on mental health considerations during COVID-19, with tailored messages not only to caregivers, but also to the general public. Of course, digital health companies also joined in the efforts. UK-based startup UnMind provides a platform for workplace mental health, Headspace is specializing in meditation, while Big Health offers a digital sleep improvement program to help overcome poor sleep without pills.
