“Changes in Mental and Cognitive Health across Pre- and Post-Pandemic Samples” 
Professor Melissa Buelow, PhD

During the COVID-19 pandemic, multiple stories appeared in the news about increasing rates of psychological disorders, such as anxiety and depression. In addition, several stories discussed increased difficulties in making even simple, everyday decisions. But did rates of mental and cognitive health symptoms change? This presentation examines data on self-reported rates of psychological diagnoses and performance on decision-making tasks across pre-pandemic (2011-2019) and pandemic (2020-2022) samples.

This event is free and open to the pubic. Attend in person or virtually.
