Covid-19 and its impact on global mental health


ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic may cause a possible rise in incidents associated with mental health issues which may lead to suicidal behaviors such as suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and actual suicide worldwide. COVID-19, manifested by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) in affected people, has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a public health emergency of international concern. The unpredictable consequences and uncertainty surrounding public safety, quarantine and isolation, fake news, and myths about COVID-19, particularly abounding in social media, may negatively impact an individual's mental health, causing depression, anxiety, phobia, and traumatic stress. It has been established that around 90% of global suicides are individuals who suffer from depression. This has been similarly reported to have been occurring in the past epidemics and pandemics.
