We need to contain the psychological damage by diverting maximum resources towards strengthening our healthcare system along with great reformation in subsidiaries.
The government is currently all caught up in dealing with the imminent threat of global and dreaded health crisis in the form of pestilence, which has disrupted daily life and toppled the world economy drastically. It will soon be imperative to consider to take preemptive and proactive measures about the more long-term effects of the pan-demic and a long-drawn lockdown.Humans have evolved to be social creatures as Aristotle said that humans are social animals and are wired to live in interactive groups.Being isolated and sudden, accidental social confinement from family,friends and colleagues can be unbalancing and traumatic for most people and can result in short or even long-term social,mental,psychological and physical health problems among them.
An increase in levels of frustration,irritation,anxiety,aggression,depression,forgetfulness,panic attacks, paranoia and hallucinations are possible psychological effects of isolation and in some emerging cases of social stigmatisation.Mental conditions may be precipitated for those with underlying preexisting susceptibilities and also show up in many others without any precondition.A heartfelt,cordial and Personal relationships help us cope with stress and many other psychological problems, and if we lose this outlet for letting off steam, it results in a huge emotional void which,for an average person, is difficult to deal with.
