Can you site source for this claim, I do not see any detrimental mental health, at least in terms of people are willingness to go back to work from office.

Mind giving me a source for this? I personally feel much worse during the pandemic and most people I know do as well. If your doing better Iā€™m happy for you but not everyone is the same.
