The Struggle With Women’s Mental Health Amidst A Pandemic
Surviving and thriving is all we know
The topic of mental health is crucial for every society, especially now that nations are experiencing the coronavirus pandemic.
The outbreak of the virus has prompted various discussions on covid-19 and its overall impact on everyone, particularly women. Now more than ever, there is a greater need to nurture a vulnerable population, the majority of whom are women.
Women’s lives have been gravely impacted by the coronavirus and as the continued existence of the pandemic deepens, more women are discovering that the virus may have come with more difficulties than they initially envisaged.
While some women are worried about the unprecedented spread of the disease which has left them with little or no choice but to face it headlong, others are severely constrained due to the immediate shift from regular contact with the outside world to prolonged confinement.
There are reports evidencing a rise in anxiety and comparative data has further shown that presently, the economic and productive lives of women are more disproportionately affected than that of men.
