Abstract

This in-depth assessment of the literature aims to assess and compare how the COVID-19 pandemic has specifically impacted depression and social anxiety disorder in both males and females. By focusing on these two well-known mental health conditions, this essay seeks to lucubrate the complex interplay between gender dynamics and the pandemic's psychological effects. The study will carefully consider whether the various pandemic-related disruptions, such as extended social isolation, economic crises, and upheaval of daily routines, have had different effects on men and women in terms of the prevalence and severity of depression and social anxiety disorder. The study aims to highlight potential distinctions in the experience and expression of these mental health issues by examining the data via a gender-specific perspective. It will look into age-related variations, the impact of various social support networks, and the interaction within various societies in addition to gender disparities. The research intends to provide a thorough understanding of how people from varied gender origins manage their mental well-being in the face of the pandemic's difficulties by unraveling this complexity. By highlighting the gender-specific characteristics of depression and social anxiety disorder, the research hopes to advance our understanding of how the pandemic's effects affect all facets of people's lives.
