A STUDY TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF STRESS ON MENTAL HEALTH IN PSYCHIATRIC PATIENTS OF VARIOUS RACES

ABSTRACT

People suffering from severe mental illness (SMI) have a significant negative impact on their communities as compared to the normal population. There are a variety of factors that contribute to the majority of this excess mortality. It is reported in this paper on a study that was conducted to explore the impact on mental health among psychiatric patients all over the world. We were able to determine the prevalence rates as well as the factors that contributed to the elevated morbidity and mortality rates. There is evidence that increased risk for the majority of physical diseases is caused by a combination of lifestyle variables as well as treatment-specific risk factors. There is also adequate data to imply that people with SMI are less likely than the general population to obtain normal levels of care for the majority of illnesses than the general population. The current period of Covid 19 demonstrates the enormous amount of mental stress experienced by health practitioners all across the world. A range of mental health disorders are caused by the pandemic, which is particularly widespread among psychiatric patients due to the unusual nature of the outbreak. Psychiatric patients are frequently affected by anxiety, depression, burnout, insomnia, and other stress-related diseases, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians (Freudenberger, H). It is the purpose of this study, as well as other low-resource countries, to draw attention to the mental health aspects of the pandemic among psychiatric patients.
