About

Mental-Health Crisis From Pandemic Was Minimal refers to a series of personal anecdotes shared on Twitter contradicting a scientific study claiming that the COVID-19 pandemic had a negligible impact on people's mental health. The trend gained virality online in March 2023 after BBC News tweeted an article about the study, prompting humorous reactions and memes in the quote tweets.
