What Twitter Reveals About COVID-19’s Impact on Our Mental Health
Mental health care must scale fast to handle this epidemic, says one researcher.
Stanford HAI junior fellow Johannes Eichstaedt is a psychologist who uses social media to understand the psychological states of large populations. He examined Twitter posts to learn how the virus and social distancing are affecting our anxiety and life satisfaction and how factors such our age, education, and hometown size can impact our emotions. The picture, he says, is grim. “We need to think about scalable mental health care,” he adds. “Now is the time to mobilize resources to make that happen.”Eichstaedt spoke during Stanford HAI’s COVID-19 and AI virtual conference.
