Common Mental Health Problems During COVID -19 Pandemic

Abstract

The Pandemic lockdown is not only affecting adults and
older people but has also left children and adolescents. It
is affecting them physically and mentally which can lead
to various problems.
Due to lockdown, all the schools and institutions have
been closed. There is a sudden change in the
environment of the children who are staying with their
parents or any caregiver as their outdoor activities and
social interaction with friends have been restricted.
Mental health problems can broadly be fear of infection,
irritability , boredom, anxiety, stress, depression,
unhealthy sleeping and eating habits, difficulty in attention
and concentration. Over use of the social media is also
noticed. Which was another major reason for conflict
between children and parents.
