Abstract:
The people have been informed about the physical repercussions of SARS-CoV-2 infection across the world, as well as how to avoid exposure to the coronavirus and the treatment of COVID-19 symptoms if they arise. The consequences of the pandemic on one's mental health, on the other hand, have not been well investigated and are yet unknown. Because all efforts have been concentrated on studying the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, transmission patterns, and management of the COVID-19 pandemic, little concern has been raised about the consequences on one's mental health or methods to avoid stigmatization. Various psychological issues and significant mental health effects, such as stress, worry, sadness, frustration, and uncertainty, developed gradually throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of this study was to conduct a thorough assessment of the available research on the effects of COVID-19 infection on mental health in the general population.
