Psychological Distress and Covid-19 Infection Perspective

The Covid-19 Pandemic Has Resulted in More Than 213,050,725 Cases and 4,448,352 Deaths Worldwide as of August 2021 (Who, 2021). Equally, Mental Health Disorders Affect 20–25 Per Cent of the Global Adult Population, With Depression Amongst the Leading Causes of Worldwide Disability (Who, 2021). Mental Disorders Have Increased in Prevalence Throughout the Pandemic, Due to a Range of Psychosocial and Biological Factors (Adhanom, 2020; Li Et Al., 2020). Furthermore, Accumulating Evidence Raises Concerns That Individuals With Pre-Existing Mental Health Diagnoses May Be at Increased Risk for Covid-19 Infection and Adverse Disease Outcomes (Adhanom, 2020; Li Et Al., 2020; Yao Et Al., 2020; Shinn & Viron, 2020).
