Mental Health issues post COVID
It has been several years since we had the COVID pandemic and still many people have not recovered from the pandemic. Some people have not come out of the stress, anxiety, social distancing, and a few other outcomes of the pandemic even though the situation has changed now. People have developed a lot of fear and feel disturbed in many ways. I have a few family members who got affected during the COVID time and they have not recovered fully now.
I had health problems after the COVID and it took almost one year to recover from the anxiety issues that I had. It took me some time to first understand that the issue that I had was not a real health-related issue but an anxiety issue related to my mind and it took me some time to heal.
Anxiety illness
There have been many cases reported worldwide where people have anxiety issues after the pandemic. Some people were strong during the pandemic but they gradually got it after the pandemic and when I had the issue I was able to see people at 3 am in the hospital when I had the same problem. I couldn't understand what the problem was but every day I got panic attacks at 3 am. I know a few people who had complex health issues after they initially had panic attacks and they even died. This is what created more fear in people.
PTSD
During COVID many people lost their family members and many lost their loved ones which was a prevalent thing. It created post-traumatic stress disorder in the existing members of the family. All the issues related to stress, anxiety, sleeplessness, etc. were all related to this problem. People must reach out for help if they are stressed out or need help. Sometimes it can take a lot of time to recover from PTSD but getting help is important.
Social isolation
This has been a big problem for many people. Due to fear, people were practicing social isolation even after the pandemic was over. Even today we can see some people fear the common cold and they wear masks on their faces for a simple cold. If I go to my cousin's house he still has sanitizers and soaps at the entrance of his house where people will have to wash their hands with soaps and use sanitizers before entering. Though it is good for hygiene we shouldn't be doing it out of fear.
Sleeplessness
This has been a problem since covid and many people struggle to get some good sleep. We know sleeplessness can create a lot of mental issues. Due to the stress we had during COVID-19, sleeplessness was a big problem. Many people have also created a dependency on sleeping pills post-COVID. When sleep is disturbed, it can create a lot of health issues. It is very important to have a good night's sleep but it was hard for many people to manage sleep after hearing many sad news during COVID and after that.

Namaste bhai
I'm touched by your struggle after the Covid issue, which was a scam. The lockdown imposed by Pres Modi was sudden and draconian. He gave Indians only a few hours warning. I remember it well. It was tragic. And now years later we learn that the whole Covid pandemic was a hoax and a scam.
The social distancing, masks, and the vaccine, were all unnecessary. It was a con. Pushed by global elite upon governments of the world. Fortunately Bill Gates is going on trial currently for his crimes. Covid "pandemic" was a crime against humanity, an attempt to genocide the planet via the killer vax. The stats are clear on this now.
I don't know how to say but I disagree with you. COVID was real and I had people die in my family. My father was in the hospital for 60 days. I will never agree that COVID was a hoax. But the way we handled it could or should have been better.
Yes there was Covid flu, I also had it. Just the vax seems to be killing many people, and the mask etc was apparently not helpful.
I find this interesting article on recent Covid findings.

People see Covid as a pendamic, I see it as a event that change the humanity. Maybe because people have seen the deaths up close it changed them. And there is no going back to normal after this. People call pandemic a hoax or something like that but I have seen what it can do to a person.
With COvid came the extented workhours, work related stress and sleeplessness. For next generation this would seem normal. That's the sad reality.
😕
Very well said.
After covid 19 many problems have arisen among people like stress, sleeplessness, panic, etc. You are one of them. I have no problem. Hope you get well
The social isolation is actually going to be there and can be very crazy. A lot of people will feel bad and that’s because so many people may be scared to move closer to them
I know someone who still can’t get a good sleep and ever since she got treated for COVID. It’s really crazy
I’m sure that there are so many other things she must be facing
