The COVID-19 pandemic has developed a sense of uncertainty, shock and unease about a new disease and insecurity of what could happen is overwhelming. The response to control the spreading virus, resulted in stringent reaction from the international health agencies as well as the local governments. Lock downs, social distancing, and fear has resulted in people feeling isolated and unsecured.
The response to this stress depends on people originating from different social backgrounds, financial situations, and emotional states. Stress and anxiety can often cause:
- Concerns about your own health and the health of your loved ones.
- Loss of job and/or loss of support services.
- Insecurity about future.
