Are you trying to convince someone? Besides masks being totally ineffective, they’re a visual reminder that the situation is dire and can cause depression/anxiety that way by being a constant reminder of fear and disease. You also get heckled/punished for not wearing them some places, which I’m sure induces some anxiety and depression at the state of human affairs. I think it’s a fairly easy link to make.
