Overview

Mental, Emotional and Behavioural Needs of the General Population Following COVID-19 in India: Findings from Qualitative and Quantitative Studies explores the psychological challenges arising from COVID-19 that impacted the Indian general population. The book contains comprehensive research, conducted during and post-pandemic, on economic, social, psychological and health factors in the context of recovery, handling, coping and resilience. It also offers practical approaches for reproducing results and outcomes. These studies unmask several challenges, coping mechanisms and interventions adopted by the general population. The book covers a wide range of mental health domains, including offering insight into the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health status of those who have sustained the atrocities of cross-border terrorism and mass migration for more than three decades, and can still find meaning in life. The book navigates the complexities of risk factors and digital mental health interventions along with understanding the experiences of the general population through the lens of cultural narrative. It explores the social stigma, transitional impact and ruminative experiences of people who passed through the psychological grinding times and paves the way for effective interventions and resilience-building strategies in the post-pandemic era. It is a valuable reading for researchers, mental health practitioners, policymakers and educators to learn about the most recent developments, concerns, real-world difficulties encountered and solutions taken in the mental health field following COVID-19, as well as offering implementable methods for replication.
