How does the epidemic affect mental health?

One is sleep disorder. It mainly appears in front-line anti-epidemic personnel who have been under pressure for a long time during the epidemic period, or ordinary people who break the law of life at home and become lonely, lonely and bored. These people's sleep rhythm becomes disordered, and many people suffer from insomnia (difficulty in falling asleep), early awakening, uncomfortable sleep, dreaminess, reversed circadian rhythm, and fatigue after waking up. The second is compulsive behavior. The anxiety caused by the epidemic is vented through compulsive behavior, which is manifested in compulsive hand washing and excessive cleaning. During the epidemic, people attached great importance to hand washing, disinfection and ventilation. After the epidemic, some people may continue or strengthen excessive cleaning behavior because of nervousness. The third is sensitivity and irritability. The epidemic has been well controlled, but there are still some people who are nervous and anxious about the epidemic, for example, they are worried that the epidemic will come back and there are suspected patients around them, which makes them overly sensitive. In addition, staying at home for a long time and paying attention to the epidemic situation can't be transferred to work and study well, which leads to excessive accumulation of work or study tasks, and the irritability of increasing work and study time to make up for the loss of the epidemic situation. Fourth, negative emotions. It is common to lose confidence in life and the future, look down on everything, look down on life and death, have no interest in things, be pessimistic and decadent, be demoralized, and even give up on yourself. What's more, there will be signs of internet addiction, game addiction, alcohol addiction and drug addiction, such as online time is too long and mobile games are difficult to interrupt. In order to relieve bad mood and promote sleep, some people will have substance abuse, such as alcohol addiction and smoking addiction will gradually deepen, and the dosage of sleep and sedative drugs will also increase. The fifth is social withdrawal. Staying at home for a long time can't adapt to the rhythm of the outside world, or staying indoors for fear of infection, mainly in avoiding communication with people.
