Study Notes
Mental Health During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic
-
Student Learning Challenges: Online learning challenges varied, with home learning environments posing the greatest hurdles and technological literacy being the least. The pandemic significantly impacted learning experience and student mental health.
-
Healthcare Workers: Insomnia was the most prevalent mental health concern among healthcare workers, followed by anxiety, PTSD, depression, and stress. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was the most common mental health disorder, followed by anxiety and depression. Lack of protective equipment, low pay, and a lack of respect contributed to these issues. Workers faced high pressure, stress, and anxiety.
-
Stress Impact: Excessive, prolonged stress negatively impacts frontline workers' emotional and mental well-being. It can lead to burnout, common mental disorders (depression, anxiety, PTSD), unhealthy behaviors (tobacco, alcohol, substance use), absenteeism, reduced productivity, and increased suicide risk.
Vaccination and Mental Health
-
Vaccination and Mental Health: COVID-19 vaccination was associated with reduced anxiety or depression, especially for those with lower education levels, who rent, don't telework, or have children.
-
Vaccination Impact on Young People: The mental health of young people did not significantly improve after widespread vaccination promotion in Austria and Turkey. Age may affect this impact, with younger groups facing increased uncertainty and anxiety due to future planning difficulties.
-
Vaccine Mistrust: A significant portion of Filipinos distrust available vaccines, expressing concerns about cost, efficacy, potential emerging strains, and authenticity.
Lockdown and Mental Health
-
Children’s Mental Health: Anxiety, depression, irritability, boredom, inattention, and COVID-19 fear were prevalent new-onset psychological problems in children. Pre-existing behavioral problems (like autism and ADHD) were likely to worsen.
-
Existing Mental Illnesses: Mental health services need more support during pandemics for individuals with pre-existing mental illnesses.
-
Vulnerable Groups: Students and the unemployed were highly vulnerable to COVID-related stress, its impact on mental health, with no significant difference in distress between genders.
Other Mental Health Issues
- Specific Mental Health Conditions: Anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms were present in younger age groups during lockdowns, exhibiting poorer psychological well-being compared to older age groups.
- Historical Context: Freud and Pierre Janet differentiated OCD from neurasthenia. Janet proposed that obsessional patients had an abnormal personality (psychasthenia) and used similar techniques to modern behavioral therapy for successful treatment.
