The outbreak of the global pandemic COVID -19 presents a challenging time for everyone around the world. Not only is this pandemic a serious medical concern, but it also brings mixed emotions and psycho-social stressors for all. There are emerging mental health concerns with specific focus on Children, Adolescents and Youth as they more vulnerable to heightened level of stress, anxiety and fearfulness, along with a range of other emotional and behavioral issues. COVID-19 has also brought new stressors on Teachers and Parents hampering their capacity to provide positive support to their wards. While it is important to focus on continuing education on the academic front, we must give equal importance to the mental health and well-being of the students.

Manodarpan, an initiative of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, under the AatmaNirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, aims at mobilizing psycho-social support to help Children, Youth, Teachers and Parents country-wide in a comprehensive and multimodal manner during conditions like COVID-19 and after. For more information, please visit www.mhrd.gov.in/covid-19/

MyGov in collaboration with the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, hereby invites citizens to share ideas and inputs to combat the psycho-social stress on School & College Students, Teachers and Parents, caused due to COVID-19 pandemic. Selected comments may be featured on social media.

Last date of sending us your inputs is 21st August 2020

Health-care seekers are too much perplexed, catastrophize and morbidly worried about COVID-19 symptoms that the normal running of healthcare systems may get disrupted to address the mass anxiety owing to massive disinformation. These states of affairs certify the raw potential of social media during a public health disaster

These invite a number of overwhelming mental burdens in form of anxiety, phobia, panic spells, depression, obsession, irritability, delusions of having symptoms similar to COVID-19 and other paranoid ideas

Since sensationally-charged and appalling contents draw the most attention and garner the most developments in social media, several users feigned COVID-19 symptoms to gain easy popularity and thus purposefully sowed mass confusion and panic

Mismatch between available fact sheets and dearth of clear-cut data can be compelling to entreat information from the unreliable and dubious but readily available social media sources. As soon as COVID-19 emerged to become a trending online content, many bloggers, groups or personal users in YouTube, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter started the business of making a profit off COVID-19’s popularity in many impulsive and unpredictable courses of action.

The director-general of WHO has referred this to “coronavirus infodemic” which is breeding fright and panic by laying out unchecked mind-boggling rumors, flamboyant news propaganda and sensationalism

Within days of onset of the COVID-19 outbreak in China, the ‘social media panic’ characterized by relentless plethora of fake information as well as negatively skewed misinformation metastasized faster than the coronavirus itself

In recent times, enormous interconnections through online social networks (OSN) can potentially generate ‘real-time maps’ which should be considered important tools for tracking a pandemic and for making interventional campaigns when needed. But, new “info media ecosystems” of today’s world, popularly termed as social media, can also have some disastrous effects on control and outcomes of an infectious disease pandemic

“I predict that the next major outbreak whether of a highly fatal strain of influenza or something else — will not be due to a lack of preventive technologies. Instead, emotional contagion, digitally enabled, could erode trust in vaccines so much as to render them moot. The deluge of conflicting information, misinformation and manipulated information on social media should be recognized as a global public-health threat.”

Compliance to forced home quarantine is often being violated in India, unlike in other countries . This must be taken with utmost care otherwise official acquiescence of such cordon will only aggravate such incidents. Eventually all these may result in social disobedience, irresponsible behavior, and low social perception. Critical analysis of these delinquent people’s psyche needs further exploration. Altruistic behavior towards self-isolation and voluntary quarantine.

HCPs are also likely to perceive greater stigmatization than the general public for being quarantined and consistently more affected psychologically. Children who are (or suspected to be) infected with COVID-19 and need isolation or quarantine might require special attention to meet their fear, anxiety and other psychological effects
