Mental Health during Covid-19 Pandemic
Wuhan City, China, the year is 2019, the month of December, and the first human case of SARS-CoV-2, subsequently named COVID-19, is reported. Two and a half years have passed since the outbreak of the virus, but the experience of 2020 still feels alien. Most restrictions have been lifted worldwide, and the status quo has been restored. It almost feels like a blip in this generation's existence to be studied in history books. However, a deeper look at the situation shows that the event was more than a blip. The magnitude of its impact was enough to change the trajectory of countries, families, and individual lives. This essay will discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic affected people's mental health.
