MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - In these uncertain times, many people are feeling confused, anxious or even depressed. That has led to an increase in the number of calls to a local mental health hotline number.

Mike Labonte, Executive Director Memphis Crisis Center, says the COVID-19 pandemic is taking its toll.

“We’ve already heard from some people who have lost a loved one," said Labonte. “We’ve heard from people who are worried and concerned, people who are dealing with isolation."
