Even people who may be sheltering at home with little exposure, can have increased anxiety because they don’t have outlets, such as their usual rituals to help tame the stress. Turns out that rituals, even graduation ceremonies, weddings, religious rituals, and the like all play an important role in our mental health, a much bigger role than we may have ever realized.
