Apart from destroying the world for the last two years, the Kovid-19 pandemic has also given people mental trouble. From losing loved ones to employment related issues, people have suffered a lot in the last two years and its impact on their mental health is visible now.
According to a report published by University College London in April 2021, depression and anxiety were at their peak during the UK lockdown in March 2020. The figures dropped significantly after the lockdown was lifted.
More than 40,000 people were surveyed for this study. According to a similar report by the US Census Bureau, anxiety was 42 percent higher among American youth in December 2020. However, it is also true that there have been many significant changes in people’s attitudes towards life as a result of these testing times. Individuals now want to adopt a more positive outlook towards life.
According to a study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies in 2020, youths who volunteered during the lockdown said it was the most satisfying job ever.
In a social study conducted by University College London in September 2021, every third person said they received more help from their neighbors than they did before.
According to a report from the United States Census Bureau, symptoms of anxiety and depression are more common in people who live alone.
Research published in the journal Springer Links claims that people who feel connected to others during the pandemic experience less anxiety and depression. So, if you don’t live with your family and friends, keep in touch by phone, video call or other means.
In addition, people who exercised frequently during the lockdown had more positive energy, according to a study published in September 2020 in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.
A behavioral analysis published in the American psychological journal Engage said that during the early stages of the pandemic, youth who exercised at home were less likely to be depressed.
Lack of interest in routine tasks is another sign of poor mental health. This is known as anhedonia. This is also a type of depression. According to the International Journal of Environmental Health Research, even 20 minutes of outdoor activity can keep a person mentally fit. Gardening and painting are good examples of this.
According to a news published in Dainik Bhaskar, Dr Rajesh Yadav of Rivermead Gate Medical Center in London
believes that 20 minutes of a hobby, outdoor activity, or helping others will reduce anxiety.
