President Joe Biden said Thursday a lot of Americans are feeling "down" because of the pandemic and anxious about the future -- particularly heading into the holiday season -- and urged those struggling with mental health issues to seek help if they need it.
"How many people do you know -- and maybe some in this audience -- who because of what you've been through, a loss of a husband, wife, brother, mother, father, son, whatever, or you've had something that's really impacted you with Covid, that you really find yourself just down?" Biden told Anderson Cooper at a CNN Town Hall.
The President said: "There's a lot of people who are just down. They're not sure how to get back in the game. They're not sure whether they want to get back in the game."
