Covid-19 has caused significant distress around the globe. Apart from the evident physical symptoms in infected cases, it has caused serious damage to public mental health. India, like other countries, implemented a nationwide lockdown to contain and curb the transmission of the virus. The current research is an attempt to explore psychological distress among people residing in India during the lockdown. Four hundred and three participants were asked to complete a questionnaire with questions around symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and family affluence. The results indicated that people who do not have enough supplies to sustain the lockdown were most affected, and family affluence was found to be negatively correlated with stress, anxiety, and depression. Among different professions, students and healthcare professionals were found to experience stress, anxiety, and depression more than others. Despite the current situation, stress, anxiety, and depression were found to be in normal ranges for mental health professionals highlighting their capabilities to remain normal in times of distress. Policymakers and other authorities may take the assistance of mental health professionals to help overcome psychological issues related to Covid-19.
新冠疫情给全球带来了巨大的困扰。除了已感染病例的明显身体症状外,它还对公众心理健康造成了严重影响。印度和其他国家一样,实施了全国封锁,以控制和遏制病毒传播。本研究旨在探讨印度封锁期间居民的心理困扰。共有 403 名参与者完成了一份问卷,其中包括抑郁、焦虑、压力和家庭富裕程度等症状的问题。结果表明,缺乏足够物资维持封锁的人受到的影响最大,且家庭富裕程度与压力、焦虑和抑郁呈负相关。在不同职业中,学生和医护人员比其他职业更容易感到压力、焦虑和抑郁。尽管情况如此,但心理健康专业人员的压力、焦虑和抑郁仍处于正常范围,这突显了他们在困境中保持正常的能力。政策制定者和其他当局可以借助心理健康专业人员的帮助,克服与新冠疫情相关的心理问题。
