The Evolution of Communication survey revealed the way we communicate has changed drastically over the last decade, and at no time is that more apparent than during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our research showed that the change in communication over the last 10 years is linked to another change, a change in our mental health, especially among women. And while women have a reputation of being strong communicators, the reality is that women have been reporting greater declines than men in their mental health. The decline in mental health, especially for women, is likely contributed by several factors, but one link is clear from our research - communication plays a role in their mental health, and vice versa.
