Covid-19 anxiety
The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic changed our way of life dramatically and rapidly, leading to widespread insecurity and social isolation. The fear of illness, the indeterminate duration of the pandemic, financial pressures, and the unclear picture of our future are the primary concerns for many across the globe. A near-constant influx of media coverage and rampant misinformation can leave us overwhelmed and unsure, which can drive us out of feelings of control and into tension, anxiety, terror, depression, and loneliness. People who already have preexisting mental health conditions may experience worsening symptoms. This crisis will have extensive psychological implications.
As the novel coronavirus continues to spread across the world and the number of reported cases of the disease is increasing, anxiety associated with the Covid-19 epidemic is also rising. People who already suffer from anxiety and related issues are more vulnerable to experiencing difficult times during the coronavirus crisis. As much as I want to tell you there's a sure way of getting rid of the discomfort altogether, I can't. But what I can tell you is that in many ways there is hope and there are ways to cope.
SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP IF YOU NEED IT
The coronavirus epidemic can be particularly disturbing for people vulnerable to anxiety and related disorders. Consequently, they may experience anxiety symptoms that interfere with work, intimate relationships, social life, self-care, and others.Once that happens to you, it’s vital to seek medical assistance. Although you may feel powerless during this stressful period, implementing these techniques may help avoid anxiety being a problem on its own and allow you to get through the pandemic more effectively.
