Abstract
COVID-19 has wrought havoc on people's and countries' economies, social structures, and mental health. On March 12, 2020, World Health Organization (WHO) justifiably labelled the epidemic of COVID-19 as a worldwide pandemic. Global epidemics of communicable diseases have both micro- and macro-effects on the emotional maturity of healthcare workers (HCWs). HCWs experienced higher levels of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms, despondency, and anxiety than non-healthcare workers during COVID-19 and previous global health catastrophes like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, and a significant percentage of HCWs who treated COVID-19 patients experienced depression, panic, sleeplessness, and discomfort. Burnout is common among physicians, according to recent research, and it has an impact on their health and that of their patients. These observations have sparked efforts to teach endurance to doctors, but they have been hampered by a scarcity of funds, improper policy making etc.
