Impact of Coronavirus on Mental Health
Discuss how this coronavirus pandemic has affected the mental health of people.
COVID-19 Pandemic & Mental Health
The world has been facing a pandemic since the end of 2019 under the effect of one of the strongest and most dangerous viruses to date, that is, COVID-19. The pandemic is spreading like a wildfire and has affected crores of people worldwide and has even taken the lives of uncountable. In such a situation where one sees destruction with wide open eyes to no proper measures to stop it, it becomes difficult for mankind to stay in proper mental condition and lead a mentally and physically healthy life.
The pandemic has not only affected mankind physically but it even has a great effect on the mental stability of the citizens. Among the various age groups, it is evident that the most affected are teenagers, who are already known to be impatient. Staying home all day with an internal terror with nowhere to go and nothing to do has left them in an unstable mental state.
Not only the teenagers but even the elderly people are facing a lot of mental health issues as they are facing a lot of crises and insecurities. Amid this lockdown, most people have lost their jobs and are unable to cope with their previous lifestyle. Also, the terror of what will happen next and questions such as when and how this pandemic will come to an end have left people in mental shock.
With the ever-increasing number of cases and the death rate, it is really difficult for people to cope and maintain a healthy mindset, but at the same time, it is necessary.

The whole world is now fighting with of a fatal disease. Today, people are escaping from other people. Yes, I am talking about coronavirus. It is so tiny that we cannot even see it with our naked eyes, but it has taken the lives of many people. There is a drastic impact of coronavirus in our lives:-
It has a poor effect on the health of a person, decreases their immunity, and also leads to death.
It has also brutally affected the service and occupation of every individual. Especially for the poor people they has become hopeless.
But mental unbalance has effect the most. People blindly believe in myths. Started following misleading information, and many more.
Mentally, people become so weak that they assume they are affected by corona and get heart attacks sometimes.
They are in too much fear and anxiety, and this affects their mental health.
People started overthinking, and hence situation became worse. It has been torturing for all of us.
But what exactly is needed:-
We should not panic in this tough situation. We should be calm.
We do not lose hope; the almighty God will always be with us.
We should stay safely at home. Maintain social distancing and wash our hands from time to time.
We should help the needy people, our maids, our vendors, our milkmen, and all our workers.
This is like a natural disaster; we do not have any control over it only thing that is needed is that we should always stay positive and spread positivity.
Stay hopeful and stay safe!!

The pandemic has had a huge effect on people’s health. Even the healthy people have started feeling low because of the news and loosing of there closed ones. People are not able to enjoy nature. This is a critical situation for each one of us. Each one of us has lost someone or the other, but this is the time when we need to show patience and thank god for what we have. At this critical time, people need to keep ones own self mentally and physically strong. In this tough time the people have started sharing fake news that is causing havoc in the minds of people. The very first process for avoiding this situation would be to cut the string from the COVID news and death rates. The second process will be doing yoga and exercise daily. Long breathing helps in relaxation of mind. Eating a balanced diet makes our body capable of fighting infections, leading to a healthy body and a stress-free mind. Reading books that encourage the idea of being positive can also be very helpful. Keeping yourself busy with the things you like will heal your mental health. Whether it be gardening, reading books, cooking, to learning skills for our future. Spend time with family to avoid negative thoughts and use this time productively to work for your future. Staying strong mentally helps a lot, even. If a person is physically unfit his he can recover easily with a positive mindset, but a person with a lack of mental peace takes a lot of time to recover. Trying to be happy, satisfied, and thankful to god with what we have and not expecting more at present is what is the time to do right now. Be safe and follow the safety measures strictly. Stay away from negativity and negative people; they are the prime source of mental stress. Spent time with yourself, exploring yourself, working on your weak points and that won’t give you time to take stress or to think in negative direction. Mental health is as important as physical health.
