The COVID-19 pandemic that broke out at the beginning of 2020 had a huge impact on our lives.In addition to the immediate threats to physical health, there have also been challenges to mental health.In this article, we will look at how the pandemic has affected people’s mental health, what mechanisms it has caused, and what new challenges have appeared in the context of interpersonal relationships and psychosexuality.
One of the most visible effects of the pandemic on mental health is the increase in the number of people suffering from various types of mental disorders.This phenomenon has become so common that it can be called an “epidemic” of mental disorders.Depression, anxiety, sleep disorders and anxiety are just some of the problems that have affected people as a result of the pandemic.Social isolation, concerns about the health of one’s own and loved ones, as well as job loss or financial problems have become a source of mental stress and suffering.
One of the key mechanisms that emerged as a result of the pandemic is the so-calledmechanism of learned helplessness.It involves the belief that we have no influence on the events in our lives and cannot change anything.Many people have experienced this feeling as they saw how quickly and uncontrollably the virus spread.This, in turn, could lead to deterioration of mental health and make it difficult to cope with difficulties.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant reduction in real-world social contacts.However, at the same time, there was a noticeable increase in Internet activity.People started establishing relationships, working remotely and participating in online meetings.This has created a completely new scale of establishing relationships online.Some of us have had to learn how to build and maintain relationships exclusively online, which has posed yet another mental health challenge.
The pandemic has forced us to rethink our interpersonal relationships.It introduced new rules on social distancing, wearing masks and avoiding group meetings.This, in turn, influenced our approach to building relationships.Many people have experienced loneliness and isolation, which has led them to look for new ways to stay connected with their loved ones.This also resulted in a redefinition of the values we attribute to interpersonal relationships.
In the context of mental health, psychosexuality is also an important issue.The pandemic has affected our intimacy and sex life.Increases in stress, fatigue and changes in everyday life can affect our ability to establish and maintain satisfying sexual relationships.These challenges are now the focus of research in contemporary psychosexuality.
