The pandemic of COVID-19 has caused havoc in the world, and
it has taken a toll on many things, including lives. The life of people around
the world changed all of a sudden due to the pandemic.
The contagious disease has infected millions across the globe
and also killed an equal number of people. The virus that originated from China
got spread rapidly around the world, gripping every nation in its clutches. The
fear of this viral infection compelled most of the countries around the world
to go into a lockdown mode and shut everything down.
Businesses and industries closed, schools and colleges shut,
malls and theaters sealed, and even transportation came to a grinding halt.
People were confined in their homes for months together due to the pandemic,
and all this was done in order to stop the spread of the disease.
However, this closure of all activities and home quarantine
led to a deep impact on people's minds. With the social distancing norms that came
into force after the lockdown, the regular life of people was completely
derailed.
All the things that people used to do normally suddenly came
to a stop. The abrupt halt of all these activities was too much to bear for
many people.
Since humans are social animals, they cannot stay long
without any social interaction and gatherings. But the pandemic lockdown
stopped all such activities, and people were confined to their homes. Besides,
the fear of the disease and the rising number of death was now starting to take
its toll on the minds of people.
With the growth of coronavirus patients, the number of people
with mental issues also started increasing. There is a huge spike in the number
of people suffering from depression and anxiety.
The inability to meet people, moving out of home, going to
the office, school, and movies were becoming unbearable for many people.
Above that, the lockdown also led to the loss of jobs and
modes of earning a living for thousands of people around the world. With the
panic of disease and troubles of finance, the mental issues cases steeply
increased around the world.
The lockdown also made people stuck in several places far
from their homes. Since all means of transportation were stopped completely,
people were unable to reach their homes to their families. It created more
agony in the minds of people.
Day-by-day rising COVID-19 pandemic cases and with death toll
on the increase, the fear, and panic cemented in the minds of people. With no
set cure in sight for the viral infection, people were more worried and afraid
of the whole situation.
