Mental Health Problems Faced By COVID Survivors
Depression
It is often a misused and misunderstood term. Depression causes a persistent feeling of loss of interest along with sadness and can severely impair daily functioning. To get a depression diagnosis, an individual must experience bouts of sadness, emptiness, and loss of interest for at least two weeks and can range from mild, moderate, or severe depending on the severity and number of symptoms present.
Stress
A common experience most individuals face daily. Stress is a biological response to a tense or demanding situation. Continuous responses to stress can take a toll on the body, however. It can lead to chronic ailments if not curbed at its onset.
