Interesting discussion. In my case, I mainly deal with anxiety and panic attacks. After a really horrible period, I had been a lot better due to some changes in my circumstances early this year. However, the pandemic hit and I am not doing well again. I think a large part of it is the extent of the lockdown we have been enduring since May. We are on week 15. I hear people in other countries whining about restrictions, but here things are among the strictest in the world. I can't take a walk around my neighborhood. We can't even take our car to get fixed. We get exactly two permits a week to go out for approved reasons such as buying groceries or to go to the pharmacy, and these have time limits. So, it has shifted me from pretty stable/anxiety under control to constantly being anxious and stressed again.
