Have you ever wondered the effects power outages can have on
your mental health? According to Dr Lin , a professor at the University of
Albany, an increase in mental health events is noted during power
outages. She states that "There are many reasons why mental health events
increase during power outages, including stress from the shutdown of
necessities like food storage, transportation, life support devices and more.
It can also increase loneliness and cut people off from one
other."
