Mental Health issues post COVID

By Bala | Bala | 26 Oct 2024


It has been several years since we had the COVID pandemic and still many people have not recovered from the pandemic. Some people have not come out of the stress, anxiety, social distancing, and a few other outcomes of the pandemic even though the situation has changed now. People have developed a lot of fear and feel disturbed in many ways. I have a few family members who got affected during the COVID time and they have not recovered fully now.

I had health problems after the COVID and it took almost one year to recover from the anxiety issues that I had. It took me some time to first understand that the issue that I had was not a real health-related issue but an anxiety issue related to my mind and it took me some time to heal.

Anxiety illness

There have been many cases reported worldwide where people have anxiety issues after the pandemic. Some people were strong during the pandemic but they gradually got it after the pandemic and when I had the issue I was able to see people at 3 am in the hospital when I had the same problem. I couldn't understand what the problem was but every day I got panic attacks at 3 am. I know a few people who had complex health issues after they initially had panic attacks and they even died. This is what created more fear in people.

PTSD

During COVID many people lost their family members and many lost their loved ones which was a prevalent thing. It created post-traumatic stress disorder in the existing members of the family. All the issues related to stress, anxiety, sleeplessness, etc. were all related to this problem. People must reach out for help if they are stressed out or need help. Sometimes it can take a lot of time to recover from PTSD but getting help is important.

Social isolation

This has been a big problem for many people. Due to fear, people were practicing social isolation even after the pandemic was over. Even today we can see some people fear the common cold and they wear masks on their faces for a simple cold. If I go to my cousin's house he still has sanitizers and soaps at the entrance of his house where people will have to wash their hands with soaps and use sanitizers before entering. Though it is good for hygiene we shouldn't be doing it out of fear.

Sleeplessness

This has been a problem since covid and many people struggle to get some good sleep. We know sleeplessness can create a lot of mental issues. Due to the stress we had during COVID-19, sleeplessness was a big problem. Many people have also created a dependency on sleeping pills post-COVID. When sleep is disturbed, it can create a lot of health issues. It is very important to have a good night's sleep but it was hard for many people to manage sleep after hearing many sad news during COVID and after that.
