Mental Health Problems Faced By COVID Survivors

Impact Of COVID

According to a recent research study conducted by Munam Raza Jafri, Anna Zaheer, Sahar Fatima, Taiba Saleem & Atif Sohai, 70 participants were tested to study the impact of mental health on COVID survivors.

The study results indicated that a majority of the participants suffered from mild depression, with 29 participants reporting that COVID had the biggest impact on their mental health compared to other traumatic events.

Another study was conducted in 2020 to assess the impact of COVID on the mental health of survivors in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Most participants reported feeling horrified, apprehensive, or helpless due to COVID-19.

The study was also integral in pinpointing that, albeit mild, COVID acutely impacts the mental health of its survivors in the MENA region. It signified the need for clinical intervention, especially for women and young adults. While some individuals may be aware of these mental health disorders, we will elaborate further for uniformity.
