An Analysis of the Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Seafarers’ Mental Health

Abstract

Nowadays, we hear the term “COVID-19” a lot. We knew that it affected our lungs and lead to death. It caused by a virus called “SARS COV-2”. We somehow managed the first and second waves, and people recovering from COVID also have some other diseases like black and white fungus. Everyone knew how this virus was spreading and what precautionary measures we had to take to prevent it from spreading further. We found medicine for our physical illness, but for mental illness, we didn’t talk very much about the mental illness of this pandemic situation. The paper is mainly focused on the mental health of people during COVID times and how to cope with the stress during this time. It focused on the seriousness of this situation and also how we are affected mentally, because without knowing ourselves, we are slowly recovering but still affected mentally. We frequently sanitise our hands, but the thing is that we also have to sanitise our minds. At this time, many viral negative pressures are also filling our minds.
