    The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted psychological well-being. Individuals experienced grief over loss of loved ones, stigma, fear of infection, stress from lockdowns and isolation, job and financial loss, and increased domestic violence. Vulnerable groups like healthcare workers, elderly, and those with preexisting conditions are most at risk. To cope, it is important to connect with others, practice self-care, limit media exposure, maintain routines, exercise, practice mindfulness, and seek help for worsening mental health issues.
