According to newer studies, the pandemic also brought on challenges for those who have never experienced or complained of mental health problems before. A study conducted by the Journal, Frontiers in Psychiatry found that even in countries with a low proportion or growth of COVID-cases, there was a big spurt in the number of people reporting mental health issues.

Financial stress, strict enforced lockdowns, curbs and job insecurity were touted to be some of the prime factors behind so.
