Mental Health plays a very vital role in an individual’s life. Mental health deals with an individual’s psychological, emotional as well as social well-being in every stage of their lives. Treating mental health as a priority will help you manage stress, anger and all sorts of emotions, which effects your mood and behavior.
In this COVID-19 pandemic, it has been stressful for every single person of all age groups. Fear, anxiety, stress, loneliness has played a huge role.
Psychological effects of the quarantined citizens as well as social distancing have proved to be the most distressful. Debjyoti Gupta, Founder of Mindfully Yours, when asked about his primary solution to survive this pandemic, has said “personally I talk to some of my friends and relate to them about the experiences I am having and then learn from it plus family members play a very crucial role in this situation as they are the ones who would help you to overcome this crisis. Also with Mindfully Yours I’m being able to channel a lot of my energy in helping other people”.
Consultant Psychologist Sanchari Nag suggested , “as the winters are going on, everyone should expose themselves to the sunlight for at least 30 minutes because this is the time we have seen an upsurge in depression due to the lack of the dopamine secretion and Vitamin D that we receive from the sunlight.”
About practices of self affirmations she had mentioned about making a routine, where one would be able to find the time where he or she has nothing to do, then filling up those spaces with hobbies and productive activities.
At the end of the day we are all in this together and by looking out for each other we can survive this pandemic.
