Psychological Impact of COVID-19 on Mental Health and Life Quality in Healthy Individuals:A Review
Keywords:
Anxiety, COVID-19, Depression, Pandemic, Mental health, PsychologicalAbstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its complications have spread throughout the world. The overall mortality rate appears to be similar to the pandemic flu. As a result of the worldwide spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, which was triggered by a coronavirus infection that caused an acute respiratory disease (SARS-CoV-2) in the Chinese city of Wuhan, a socio-economic disaster and significant psychological suffering occurred. During the COVID-19 crisis, several psychological disorders and serious psychological effects, such as stress, depression, anguish, and anxiety, progressively evolved. This review examines some of the existing research on the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of the general population. A comprehensive assessment of scientific articles on the psychological impact of COVID-19 on mental health outcomes was conducted. The roles of risk and preventative factors in susceptible people's productivity to acquire developmental disorders, as well as the many elements of behavior related to the COVID-19 pandemic, have also been investigated. This review evaluates some of the existing research findings on the impact of COVID-19 disease on the mental health of the general population. COVID-19 isolation has long been recognized as one of the most significant emotional responses to a COVID-19 pandemic among the general public. Finally, both governmental and non-governmental groups must develop psychological preventative methods for several COVID-19-related psychiatric issues, as well as the numerous populations who are far more vulnerable to the pandemic.
