A critical review of literature to reveal Covid-19 effect on mental health

ABSTRACT

Over 26,13,73683 cases and 52,12,961 verified fatalities have been documented because of the Corona pandemic so far. As a result of such extensive epidemics, mental health issues are more likely to occur. Keeping this in mind, the medical databases were used to locate relevant research on the Corona epidemic and mental health. Classification and summarization of previously published articles were carried out in accordance with the articles' overarching topics. In the early stages of the Corona pandemic, symptoms of anxiety, sadness, and self-reported stress (ranging from 16–28 percent) are frequent and may be linked to disrupted sleep. Several factors, both personal and institutional, influence this risk. In designing services for these groups, consideration must be given to both the requirements of the individuals affected and the appropriate preventative recommendations. Only a handful of the impacted nations have been documented in the literature, which may not accurately reflect the experiences of people in other areas of the world. As a result of the Corona epidemic, many people have developed subsyndromal mental health issues. For disadvantaged communities in other nations, there is a need for more representative studies. However, the current study explores the four main studies undertaken in China, which were chosen out of a total of 28 articles and after careful selection were delineated for study, the methodology gives the selection criterion in detail. © MEDIC SCIENTIFIC, All rights reserved.
