This article considers and discusses the existing knowledge about the psychological manifestations of the COVID-19 pandemic. Two article authors searched the Medline database for applicable English-language articles. They have demonstrated a scary fact that many reasons could lead to such pandemic-induced anxiety, fear and stress among the general populace due to the uncertainty, health threats and strict containment measures. They make this comment that kids, older people, and people who have preexisting medical problems are very vulnerable to stress and fear about COVID-19. In so doing, the review puts the focus on the lethal mental toll on the hospital crews who battle the pandemic on the frontline. The authors recommend this as a likely outcome for COVID-19’s mental health consequences to be deleterious and to take individual and population levels into account. Based on the available research until this period, this review highlights the assorted psychological consequences that arose due to the widespread coronavirus pandemic. It highlights the central health states involving mental function as well as the risky groups to help understand the topic on a broader level. By the vulnerable group selection, I will be able to research the overall psychological effects of the pandemic extensively.

This article reviews 35 survey studies assessing the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and adolescents. The researchers screened prominent databases and took a wide range of records published between December 2019 and December 2020. Studies were rated for quality according to basic checks. The review displayed a considerable percentage of mental issues, fear, loneliness, depression, and other negative psychological qualities among young people because of the pandemic. It must be emphasized how a crisis amplifies cases of mental health or developmental disorders. Hazards and strengths were also worked out. The authors sum up how much the pandemic has worsened mental health in the mentioned group of people. Insufficient research is highlighted; it points to the gap that calls for more research research. This article offers an integrated overview of the current surveys of ‘pandemic mental health consequences’ of children and adolescents. Undoubtedly, it will enable me to come up with a study addressing issues of defenceless populations and fundamental room for the youth mental health, meaning the COVID-19 epidemic.

This research involved collecting survey data from 195 college students in the USA who aimed to establish COVID-19 hospitalization on mental health. The interviews were live questionnaires conducted between the months of March and May 2020. With psychosomatic results demonstrating problematic levels of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms among the student body, the related issues due to COVID-19 can be compacted into factors such as description of everyday routine, academic pressure and isolation. The main groups reported to be vulnerable to psychological effects were female students, those with a preexisting disorder, and Asian people. This research focuses on subjective perception during a pandemic in a specific population group the population. Such a survey on university students will provide me with the necessary data for research on onset risks and factors that may contribute to poor mental outcomes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This source is essential as it provides another angle on the mental health consequences on students so early in the COVID-19 outbreak.

Such a narrative literature overview may serve as the basis of the research on the mental health influence the COVID-19 pandemic had on the working environment. The authors did a thorough search for the relevant data in major databases regarding psychological problems faced by workers, especially during pandemics. The research revealed a higher risk in staff members for anxiety, depression, PTSD and sleep disorders, but the highest was for the frontline workers. All this – is job insecurity, stress and uncertainty – which affects mental health sufferers. Shown were the workers who were younger and more educated. The organizational responses mean resilience training, infrastructure improvements, and protective equipment usage can diminish the intensity and frequency of risks. With the integration of personal and corporate attributes, this assessment summarizes workers’ mental health in general during the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the psychological effects of pandemics in workplace settings utilizing empowering approaches referenced in the literature. This attention to the work environment will facilitate my studies and specifically influence the factors that can positively or negatively affect mental health results.
