The COVID-19 pandemic is a major health crisis that has changed the life of many people globally. Due to quarantine, most people need to stay indoors all the time which resulted in a change in their lifestyle which in turn led to mental instability and anxiety, the false information on social media and lack of knowledge about COVID-19 has led to fear of the disease. Reports have stated most people have faced psychological distress and symptoms of depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress. Financial misery was also a key correlate of poorer intellectual fitness. With the extended school and university closures, young people had been left with social isolation and disconnectedness which fuelled feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, and loneliness and led to affective and behavioural problems. In the covid 19 crisis, the risk factors associated with poor mental health issues have increased-financial insecurity, and unemployment, fear-while protective factors like social connections, employment, educational engagement, access to physical activities, daily routines, and access to health services decreased. In response, an unprecedented and significant change, worsen the population's mental health. Across countries, unemployment and financial insecurity were associated with worse mental health than the general population - a trend that predates the pandemic but has become more pronounced since it began. Mental health issues arose in COVID-19 mostly due to belief in such false information. Mental health issues can be avoided and minimized by having faith in doctors and maintaining a positive attitude. As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, many countries developed mental health information and/or phone support lines that offered tips, while others increased entitlement to mental health services and/or funding.
