Abstract
The COVID-19 epidemic has made social isolation the norm. Isolation from society and routines such as hand-washing and wearing masks are examples of necessary lifestyle adjustments. In addition to suffering from pandemic stress, the individual is housebound and able to work remotely. This chapter analyses the effects of behavioural changes, social isolation, a lack of community support, and working from home on mental health in social and professional settings during the pandemic. It also looks at the financial impact of the pandemic on different kinds of workmen. The chapter concludes by discussing how the pandemic's impact affected mental health and how people overcame it.
