“As much as covid-19 is surrounding physical health, mental health is equally as important as physical health” (Sarah Morgan, 2020). Mental health problems have become an inevitable issue in this pandemic situation. “Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and can contribute to his or her community” (World Health Organization). However, poor mental health can lead people to mental or physical illnesses. In this time of crisis, the coronavirus pandemic, the number of mental health illness sufferers increased. The coronavirus pandemic has caused people to feel extremely anxious, get stigmatization, and suicidal behavior. Therefore, people must pay attention to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on mental health.
The coronavirus pandemic perhaps has a long-term impact on the psychological side. One of the difficulties of the coronavirus’s existence is that people get frightened, and when people get frightened, it causes people to get anxious. “Fear and anxiety about a new disease and what could happen can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children” (CDC, 2020).
