beating pandemic blues essay
Answers
Explanation:
The coronavirus pandemic has brought with it stress and anxiety. According to a new global Covid-19 survey by Ipsos, a global market research company, anxiety, depression, overeating and physical inactivity have emerged as top concerns among urban Indians during the crisis.
"Even people who have never dealt with anxiety or depression are suddenly experiencing those," Shaheen Bhatt, author and public speaker, said during a live Instagram session with Forbes India called Mind Matters—a three-part series also involving Neerja Birla, founder and chairperson, MPower, and Raj Mariwala, director, Mariwala Health Initiative.
Work from home is adding to the stress and Ipsos says in India, more women are impacted than men. According to Birla, reaching out for help always helps. "Some of the red flags include insomnia, binge eating or not eating, mood swings, not wanting to get out of bed... the best thing to do is seek help."
