I think all you could reasonably say from this is that people in this particular survey were experiencing a high burden of worry in April in the U.S., but what this means for mental health issues long term is quite hard to discern

I should clarify, it was probably unfair to cash the study dubious - while I'm skeptical that the specific numbers in the study are comparable, the main point was just that there were probably a few more depression symptoms than we'd usually expect to see in 2020 which is fair

Unsurprisingly 2020 being like an unextinguishable flaming bag of shite in the middle of your living room has resulted in people feeling not like normal. Feeling sad because things are bad isn't depression.
