Mental Health in lockdown

For the single mother in South Sudan, COVID-19 lockdown measures have paused her small business that brings food to the table.

For the domestic worker in Guatemala, the pandemic has meant no job and no unemployment benefits or other protection.

For countless women in economies of every size and losing income, unpaid care and domestic work burden have exploded.

So the questions that I'm trying to portray is that what was the role of technology in resolving these problems 

COVID-19 pandemic and mental health consequences: Systematic review of the current evidence

• COVID-19 patients displayed high levels of PTSS and increased levels of depression.
• Patients with preexisting psychiatric disorders reported worsening of psychiatric symptoms.
• Higher levels of psychiatric symptoms were found among health care workers.
• A decrease in psychological well-being was observed in the general public.
• However, well-conducted large-scale studies are highly needed.
• How is the COVID-19 pandemic impacting the mental health of children and adolescents?

• Fear, worry, and stress are normal responses to perceived or real threats, and at times, we are faced with uncertainty or the unknown. So it is normal and understandable that people are experiencing fear in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  Added to the fear of contracting the virus in a pandemic such as COVID-19 are the significant changes to our daily lives as our movements are restricted in support of efforts to contain and slow down the spread of the virus. Faced with new realities of working from home, temporary unemployment, home-schooling of children, and lack of physical contact with other family members, friends, and colleagues, it is important that we look after our mental, as well as our physical, health.
