Depression and anxiety are among the most common mental illnesses that affect otherwise capable and productive members of the workforce. The uncertainty and isolation, induced by COVID-19 lockdown conditions, puts a strain on mental health resources and prevents the most common form of support, which is in-person. Lockdown conditions may exacerbate peoples' mental health condition and render them less capable of being productive under physical distancing and work from home. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on the mental health of the population has been assessed only informally and anecdotally, as it requires research that both requires more time and that is infeasible to perform while physical distancing is in effect. Our proposed research intends to shed light on the above unknown by tapping into social media, which are used as a means of communication, socialization and support by a large fraction of the population, including individuals with mental health disorders.

抑郁症和焦虑是影响劳动力中其他能力和生产力成员的最常见精神疾病。由Covid-19锁定条件引起的不确定性和隔离，给精神卫生资源带来了压力，并阻止了最常见的支持形式，即面对面的支持。锁定状况可能会加剧人们的心理健康状况，并使他们在身体远处和在家工作下变得富有成效。 仅在非正式和轶事上对COVID-19锁定对人口心理健康的影响的影响程度仅进行了评估，因为它需要研究，这两者都需要更多的时间，而且在物理疏远的同时进行，这是不可行的。 我们提出的研究旨在通过利用社交媒体来阐明上述未知的研究，这些社交媒体被用作很大一部分人群的沟通，社交和支持的手段，包括患有精神疾病的人。
