Such restrictions as social distancing and self-isolation have dramatically affected people’s mental health, prompting people to seek new ways of psychiatric rehabilitation. According to the statistics, four out of 10 adults in the US reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder during the coronavirus pandemic.
