Mental health covid19 & homeopathy

It is really amazing to see that an organism invisible to naked eye can bring the world to stand still. The way we lived and did things have changed 360 degrees. I wonder if the life is ever going to be the same again.

The strategy to curb this highly contagious infection is lockdown but its impact on the mental health of people is profound. Phychological issues like anxiety, fear, depression, loneliness, stress, sleep disturbances, anger, sadness etc are in the rise. Social distancing, quarantine, isolation have become common terminologies.

When all this started in march last year no one imagined it to go on for so long. Man is a social animal. Living with so many restrictions and more so in lockdown confined to home feels like you are under house arrest.

The apprehension of catching covid 19 and the stress and anxiety of dealing with the infection is causing alot of panic among people. The financial and economic losses due to lockdown is adding to frustration and depression in adults. Closure of schools and colleges also social places is leading to anxiety and panic in teens and children. Elderly are feeling loneliness and depressed.

Every person responds differently to this situation. Some people view it as an opportunity to rest, introspect while some feel anxious and lonely and others angry and frustrated or fear and panic.

Homoeopathy and flower remedies can be used effectively for rebalancing these emotions and restore health. We need to choose a homoeopathic remedy which most closely resemble the emotional state of the person. Amongst many other symptoms few of the key note symptoms are listed below of some of the remedies.
