Study out of southern switzerland. Measures of depression, anxiety, and stress varied as the pandemic went on, but overall numbers not particuarly high compared to other reported numbers. they did increase, however. 
Interesting conclusion:
"anxiety and stress almost doubled over ten months following the end of the first pandemic wave. However... psychological distress may not be worse compared with pre-pandemic, and may in fact be less marked than in neighbouring countries in Europe."

super important, people who had chronic diseases far more impacted than those without.
See what I mean when I talk about nuance in the data? good data analysis is the entire reason why i detest the #UrgencyOfNormal presentations. The more we get data, the more nuanced it is.
made this overlay (Time synced to the date of survey and the dates of covid) me of depression and covid deaths in switzerland. certainly an increase in depression my goodness it really looks like people dying has an effect on depression in both groups
strangely, the authors mentioned lockdown measures but not death/fear of dying as a possible co-contributror.
