As the corona virus pandemic spreads around the globe, it is causing widespread dread, worry, and concern among the general public, as well as specific groups such as elderly people, caregivers, and those with underlying health concerns. To date, the main psychological impact on public mental health has been increased rates of stress or worry. Loneliness, sadness, destructive drinking and drug use, and self-harm or suicide behaviour have been expected to raise and effects are implemented, particularly quarantine and home isolation and their effects on many people's daily activities, routines, or livelihoods. A ‘fearodemic and infodemic' has arisen as a result of Covid's destructive second wave. People are scared to die, losing loved ones, being alone, and losing their jobs anxieties and many mental health issues that have added a new degree of mental-health difficulties to the situation. The main goal of the study is to find a solution by studying deeply about the mental problems caused by the effects of coronavirus by using the analytic method to see the results of coronavirus in a mental aspect of a person. Physical health is impossible without mental health because these two are related to each other. The main objective of this study was to make you and your loved ones aware of mental illnesses caused by coronavirus.

Abstract


As the corona virus pandemic spreads around the globe, it is causing widespread dread, worry, and concern among the general public, as well as specific groups such as elderly people, caregivers, and those with underlying health concerns. To date, the main psychological impact on public mental health has been increased rates of stress or worry. Loneliness, sadness, destructive drinking and drug use, and self-harm or suicide behaviour have been expected to raise and effects are implemented, particularly quarantine and home isolation and their effects on many people's daily activities, routines, or livelihoods. A ‘fearodemic and infodemic' has arisen as a result of Covid's destructive second wave. People are scared to die, losing loved ones, being alone, and losing their jobs anxieties and many mental health issues that have added a new degree of mental-health difficulties to the situation. The main goal of the study is to find a solution by studying deeply about the mental problems caused by the effects of coronavirus by using the analytic method to see the results of coronavirus in a mental aspect of a person. Physical health is impossible without mental health because these two are related to each other. The main objective of this study was to make you and your loved ones aware of mental illnesses caused by coronavirus.
