Because of limited social interaction, and intense disruption in daily routines, all members of the family from young to old members have experienced significant impact on mental well-being.
Grief and loss: Many people have experienced the loss of loved ones due to COVID-19, leading to unresolved grief and extended bereavement. The inability to properly observe the protocols set up for societal support, to mourn and to gather for funerals has added additional emotional strain. Young people are struggling with the staggering load of unspoken issues, and many are yet to find professional help to speak about it.

Although people often don’t really know their experiences and reactions.
