INTRODUCTION
Bereavement, isolation, financial loss, and fear are all factors that contribute to or exacerbate
mental health problems. Many people may be abusing alcohol and drugs, as well as being
sleep deprived and worried.
COVID-19, on the other hand, can induce neurological and mental adverse effects such as
psychosis, agitation, and stroke. People with pre-existing mental, neurological, or drug use
issues are also more vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection, with a higher risk of catastrophic
outcomes, including death.
Excessive pain and anxiety induced by COVID-19, according to research, have resulted in
poor psychological well-being, an increase in suicidal tendencies, and worsening of
preexisting mental health issues.
COVID-19 has interrupted essential mental health services throughout the world at a critical
moment. World leaders must respond swiftly and courageously to increase investment in
lifesaving mental health programmes both during and after the outbreak.
Motivation for taking this Topic
At first, the Covid epidemic was viewed as an opportunity to spend time with family, and
many did enjoy spending time with their relatives. However, as the lockdown wore on, the
situation deteriorated. Constantly looking at the walls surrounding us and being in the same
spot for an extended period of time made individuals feel as if they were living in a cage.
Being with family is a pleasure, but being separated from friends and the outside world is a
tragedy. Fear and mental health concerns are reasonable in a setting where physical health is
prioritised before mental health.
Purpose of this Assignment
As a result of the Corona Virus Pandemic The social and economic costs associated with the
rising burden of mental disease drew attention to the potential for improving mental health as
well as preventing and treating mental illness. Thus, mental health is related to behaviour and
is regarded as critical to physical health and quality of life. Children who are remaining at
home, away from their school, classmates, and co-workers, may have many questions
regarding the epidemic and turn to their parents or caregivers for answers. Unfortunately, not
all children and parents react the same way to stress. Anxiety, discomfort, social isolation,
and an abusive environment may all have a negative impact on a child's mental health, either
short or long term.

Review of Literature

1. (W. Cullen, G. Gulati and B.D. Kelly, 2020) The psychological reactions of a
population play a vital part in the transmission of an infectious disease, as well as the
incidence of emotional anguish and social disorder during and after the epidemic. He
denied the appropriate resources to manage or mitigate the impact of pandemics on
mental health and well-being. 1 However, in the acute period of an epidemic, when
health systems concentrate tests and decreased transmission, as well as patient care
for the most urgent cases of pandemic, psychological and mental requirements, should
not ignore

2. (Roy A, Singh AK, Mishra S, Chinnadurai A, Mitra A, Bakshi O. September 1, 2020)

In this paper, we aim to examine the prevalent mental health concerns during the
COVID-19 pandemic based on worldwide experiences and response techniques
created in mental health treatment, with a focus on the Indian context. We want to
offer a conceptual and suggestion framework for mental health concerns during the
COVID-19 pandemic by undertaking a quick synthesis of existing information.

3. (Jiaqi Xiong, Orly Lipsitz, Flora Nasri, Leanna M.W. Lui, Hartej Gill, Lee Phan,
David Chen-Li, Michelle Iacobucci, Roger Ho, Amna Majeed, Roger S. McIntyre,
December 2020) The COVID-19 pandemic is associated with extremely high levels
of psychological anguish, which, in many cases, would exceed the clinical relevance
criterion. Mitigating the dangers of COVID-19 on mental health is a global public
health concern.

4. (Khan, K.S., Mamun, M.A., Griffiths, M.D. et al. July 2020) The public's mental
health may be influenced by media coverage of the epidemic. The 24/7 coverage of
COVID-19 on rolling news networks, sensationalist headlines in major publications,
and disinformation on social media have all contributed to popular worry and dread.
Misinformation-hosting websites (e.g., fake COVID-19, treatment solutions,
COVID19 conspiracy theories) should be deleted and prohibited. Official media
sources should play an important role in encouraging cautious and preventative
actions. To dispel concerns, government leaders and scientific professionals must
engage the public on a regular basis.

5. (García-Fernández, L., Romero-Ferreiro, López-Roldán, P. Padilla, S., Calero-Sierra,

I., Monzó-García, M., Rodriguez-Jimenez, 2020) Spain has the highest rate of
SARSCoV-2 infected healthcare workers (HCW) (WHO, 2019). This has caused
substantial worry among HCW, resulting in emotional responses such as anxiety,
sadness, and severe stress.

6. (Anant Kumar, K. Rajasekharan Nayar, April 2020) The world is worried about
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its long-term effects. It will have an
influence on many aspects of life, including the economy, industry, global market,
agriculture, human health, health care, and so on. At the moment, the focus of
governments and international organisations such as the World Health Organization
(WHO) is on controlling and minimising the effects of the pandemic by identifying,
testing, and treating infected persons, as well as developing medicines, vaccines, and
 treatment procedures. Nonetheless, despite such attempts to combat the epidemic, we
remain unsure of the pandemic's course in the following days.

7. (Rossi R, Socci V, Talevi D, Mensi S, Niolu C, Pacitti F, Di Marco A, Rossi A,

Siracusano A and Di Lorenzo G) The Italian population's psychological impact of the
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic and lockdown measures is unclear.
The current study examines the influence of COVID-19-related potential risk
variables on rates of mental health outcomes in the Italian general population three to
four weeks after lockdown measures are implemented.

8. (Seshadri Sekhar Chatterjee, Ranjan Bhattacharyya, Sumita Bhattacharyya, Sukanya

Gupta,3 Soumitra Das, and Bejoy Bikram Banerjee, May 2015) COVID-19, like any
other epidemic, has presented an unprecedented threat to the physical and emotional
health of doctors. There is a scarcity of literature in this field. The current study
sought to investigate doctors' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour about the epidemic,
as well as how it affects their sadness, anxiety, and stress levels.

9. (Bazghina-werq Semo and Souci Mogga Frissa, Sep,2020) Due to illness experience,
physical distance, stigma and discrimination, and job losses, the COVID-19 pandemic
is causing mental health difficulties in many of the locations worst impacted by the
epidemic. Post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, sadness, and sleeplessness are
common among health care professionals, patients with COVID-19 and other
illnesses, children, women, youth, and the elderly. Virtual mental health services have
been created in a number of locations, and social media is being utilised to
disseminate mental health education and communication materials. This quick
assessment focuses on mental health services in the nations most affected by the
COVID-19 epidemic.

10. (Shigemura, J., & Kurosawa, M. 2020) The COVID-19 death toll in Japan stood at
771 as of May 20, 2020. Because of the pandemic, the 2020 Tokyo
Olympics/Paralympics were forced to be rescheduled till 2021. Not only infected
patients, but also health care personnel, have been affected by COVID-19-related
social dynamics such as prejudice and stigmatisation. ((c) 2021 APA, all rights

11. (Kritika Poudel, Pramod Subedi, July,2020)With the recent increase in the number of
COVID-19 cases in Nepal, public health concerns are growing. To combat the
epidemic, Nepal has implemented various types of lockdown, urging people to
practise social distance in order to minimise interactions between individuals, which
might gradually lower the possibility of new infection; nevertheless, it has not been
successful.

12. (Marcela Almeida, Angela D. Danijela S. Laura J., December 2020) The present
worldwide epidemic of COVID-19 has altered the operating procedures of all
segments of society. While certain pandemic-related stresses impact almost everyone,
many of them disproportionately harm women. The goal of this paper is to review
what is known about the pandemic's impact on women's mental health, what makes
 them more vulnerable to vulnerabilities and adverse effects, and strategies for
preventing and treating these mental health consequences in the female population at
various stages of life.

13. (Konstantinos Tsamakis, Emmanouil Rizos,Athanasios J. Manolis, Sofia Chaidou,

Stylianos Kympouropoulos, Eleftherios Spartalis, Demetrios A. Spandidos, Dimitrios
Tsiptsios, Andreas S. Triantafyllis, April, 2020)Given the extraordinary public health
problem posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to recognise the
psychological impact of this growing threat on healthcare workers. Previous
experience from smaller-scale epidemics, as well as new material on COVID-19,
indicate that the unprecedented level of stress that healthcare professionals face is
related with higher psychological morbidities. We portrayed the psychological strain
imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic on Greek healthcare personnel and evaluated
the literature on the impact of past epidemics on frontline healthcare employees.

14. (Cuiyan Wang, Riyu Pan, Xiaoyang Wan, Yilin Tan, Linkang Xu, Roger S. McIntyre,
Faith N. Choo, Bach Tran, Roger Ho, Vijay K. Sharma, Cyrus Ho, July 2020) In
addition to being a public health issue, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had an
impact on global mental health, as shown by panic-buying around the globe as
instances increased. Little is known about how psychological effect, stress, anxiety,
and depression levels changed during the epidemic. This longitudinal study polled the
general public twice, first during the initial outbreak and again four weeks later,
asking about demographics, symptoms, knowledge, fears, and COVID-19 preventive
actions.

15. (Ashley E. Muller, Novembar,2020) The covid-19 epidemic has put a strain on
healthcare systems all across the world. We conducted a quick systematic review to
find, evaluate, and synthesise data on the mental health impact of the covid-19
epidemic on healthcare professionals (healthcare workers). On May 11, we used the
Norwegian Institute of Public Health's Live map of covid-19 evidence and
incorporated 59 research. Six reported on the implementation of interventions, but
none on the outcomes of the interventions. HCWs indicated a lack of interest in
professional assistance and a dependence on social support and interaction.

16. (Gloster AT, Lamnisos D, Lubenko J, Presti G, Squatrito V, Constantinou M, et al.,

2020) The COVID-19 epidemic prompted widespread government shutdowns. The
mental health consequences of these lockdowns are little known. On the one hand,
such abrupt shifts in everyday patterns may be harmful to mental health. On the other
hand, because the whole population was harmed, it may not be perceived adversely.
17. (Janusz Heitzman, 2020) Human encounter with a stressor such as the COVID-19
pandemic epidemic, produced by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and exhibited in severe
acute respiratory distress, resulting in a loss in fitness and mental resistance on an
unprecedented scale and with difficult to predict effects. The prevalence of the disease
is more relevant than its severity. When we compare our present understanding of the
pandemic's influence on development. According to the findings of research on acute
stress disorder (ASD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during the last 40
years, they may be distinct.
18. (Torales J March, 2020) In the last months, after the outbreak of a new coronavirus
infection (COVID-19) on 31 December 2019 among humans in Wuhan (China), an
increasing amount of information and concerns are impacting on global mental health.
Global media, local and international health organizations (including World Health
Organization), epidemiologists, virologists and opinion-makers put out information,
recommendations and minute-by-minute updates on COVID-19 spreading and
lethality. Never-the less, the burden of this infection on the global mental health is
currently neglected even if it may challenge patients, general population, as well as
policy makers and health organizations and teams.

19. (Matt Boden, April 2021) A population mental health perspective informed by clinical
psychology, psychiatry and dissemination and implementation science is ideally
suited to address the broad, multi-faceted and long-lasting mental health impact of the
pandemic. Informed by a systematic review of the burgeoning empirical research on
the COVID-19 pandemic and research on prior coronavirus pandemics, we link
pandemic risk factors, negative mental health outcomes and appropriate intervention
strategies. We describe how social risk factors and pandemic stressors will contribute
to negative mental health outcomes, especially among vulnerable populations.

20. (Vigo D May, 2020) Many voices during the past decade foretold that viral outbreak
resulting in pandemics were all but inevitable. Epidemiologists, academics, policy
makers, and multi-stakeholder simulations all pointed to critical holes in the global
capacity to contain a pandemic and strived to impress upon the Governments the need
to prepare health systems to avoid large-scale catastrophe due to uncontrolled viral
outbreaks. While the H1N1 pandemic did push many of the G7 countries to develop
better pandemic plans, for example, the North American Plan for Animal and
Pandemic Influenza, no country was adequately prepared for the COVID-19
pandemic.

21. (M D Braquehais September 2020) Most studies show a high incidence of anxiety and
depression symptoms in HPs, which can be linked to I COVID-19 exposure, (ii)
epidemiological concerns, (iii) material resources, (iv) human resources, and (v)
personal variables. Certain factors' roles before, during, and after the epidemic remain
unknown. Longitudinal research will aid in determining which factors are linked to a
higher likelihood of developing long-term unfavourable consequences. Qualitative
research may help us understand the role of individual and social narratives in the
suffering of HPs.
22. (G Serafini, June 2020) As a result of the emergence of coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) outbreak caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) infection in the Chinese city of Wuhan, a situation of socio-economic
crisis and profound psychological distress rapidly occurred worldwide. Various
psychological problems and important consequences in terms of mental health
including stress, anxiety, depression, frustration, uncertainty during COVID-19
outbreak emerged progressively.

23. (Imran Ijaz Haider May, 2020) The Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic in
December 2019 has evolved to the level of a worldwide pandemic, affecting nations
 on all seven continents and resulting in over two million human cases. Because there
is no vaccine available, therapy is largely symptomatic for individuals afflicted and
preventive for those at risk. Most nations have taken steps to limit the spread of
COVID-19, including lockdowns, social distance, and voluntary self-isolation. While
necessary, such treatments, as well as the disease itself, can have a negative influence
on mental health.

24. (Sabina Yeasmin, 2020) COVID-19 pandemic poses a significant mental health threat
among children in Bangladesh. This study aims to explore the impact of COVID-19
on the mental health of children during the lockdown in Bangladesh. An online
crosssectional study was conducted from 25th April to 9th May 2020 among 384
parents having at least one child aged between 5–15 years using non-probability
sampling. Kmeans clustering used to group children according to mental health score
and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) performed to identify the relationship among
the parental behavior and child mental health, and also these associations were
assessed through chi-square test.

25. (Aziz E. December, 2020) This study evaluates the impact of Covid-19 on the mental
health of 8004 French students in the East part of France, which has been the first and
hardest hit region by the Covid-19 pandemic. This is, to our knowledge, the largest
study conducted on mental health of students during the pandemic. Our results show
that students suffer from particularly high level of anxiety, depression and distress. A
significant proportion of students might require psychological support, especially
because the high distress scores suggest that the epidemic and confinement have
favoured the emergence of post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Research Objective:

o What exactly is mental health? and how it affects the individual who is afflicted. o
What influence has the Corona Virus Pandemic had on people's mental health? o In
terms of medical health costs, how is this pandemic affecting a country? o The
disorder's development and the differentiation of symptoms in various genders. o
How is the COVID-19 Pandemic Affecting Adult Mental Health?
o Medical research is being conducted to determine how the corona virus epidemic
impacts brain function.

Research Gap:

o Hundreds of surveys, clinical studies, tests, and observations were conducted to

determine the source of the mental health crisis caused by the Corona virus epidemic.
o The many methods used, such as surveys and trials, were subjective and diverse at
each level and geography, but the problem caused by the Corona virus epidemic was
the same.
o There is little understanding of the impact of large-scale epidemics on community
mental health, especially during the acute phase. Because of this information vacuum,
we are woefully unprepared to assist communities as they face the unprecedented
COVID-19 epidemic.
