Abstract
The people have been informed about the physical repercussions of SARS-CoV-2 infection across the world, as well as how to avoid exposure to the coronavirus and the treatment of COVID-19 symptoms if they arise. The consequences of the pandemic on one's mental health, on the other hand, have not been well investigated and are yet unknown. Because all efforts have been concentrated on studying the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, transmission patterns, and management of the COVID-19 pandemic, little concern has been raised about the consequences on one's mental health or methods to avoid stigmatization. Various psychological issues and significant mental health effects, such as stress, worry, sadness, frustration, and uncertainty, developed gradually throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of this study was to conduct a thorough assessment of the available research on the effects of COVID-19 infection on mental health in the general population.

Summary
The people have been informed about the physical repercussions of SARS-CoV-2 infection across the world, as well as how to avoid exposure to the coronavirus and the treatment of COVID-19 symptoms if they arise. Because all efforts have been concentrated on studying the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, transmission patterns, and management of the COVID-19 pandemic, little concern has been raised about the consequences on one's mental health or methods to avoid stigmatization. Self-isolation in order to avoid the spread of the disease at a societal level, governments must take the appropriate steps to give mental health assistance as recommended by specialists. Author said in his editorial that health systems throughout the globe are gathering solely to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, which has the potential to have a significant impact on the treatment of other diseases, including mental health, which is often exacerbated during pandemics. Health education should be improved via the use of internet platforms, social dread connected to COVID-19 should be handled appropriately, and stigma and discrimination should be acknowledged as important issues capable of reinforcing feelings of insecurity in a time of social crisis [5]
