Since January when the World Health Organization (WHO) determined the outbreak of COVID-19, to be a “public health emergency of international concern”, stress levels and mental health crises everywhere have continued to mount.
The WHO makes the following suggestions-
1. Not to stigmatize anyone who has or had the virus.
2. Seek information updates from trusted sources only and at set times once or twice a day.
3. Get the facts; not the rumors and misinformation. Limit social media usage if need be.
4. Help others by phoning neighbors or community members who may need some extra assistance.
5. Self-care is important.
6. Clearly define what you can control, work on that, don't focus on what you can't.
7. Try to stay physically active, mild exercise indoors.
8. Breathing exercises are good for everyone.
9. Do not indulge in addictive substances.
10. Try to volunteer or helo in any way the organizations working on this.
