Covid19 has given rise to a number of Mental Health consequences – Roy Abraham Kallivayalil

#Covid19 has given rise to a number of #MentalHealth consequences- mainly depression, anxiety, stress disorders and severe adjustment problems. We have reports of suicides from many parts of #India including two persons at Trivandrum Medical College Hospital, #Kerala at the Covid19 isolation ward.Early intervention, easy access to care, collaborative work, Information, Education and Communication (IEC) strategies are very important. Since we do not have a vaccine yet, the answer is #SocialVaccine– social distancing, hand hygiene and wearing masks. Kindly listen to the brief video attached (in Malayalam) on how we can handle this crisis. Let’s join together for mental health during Covid times!
