COVID -19 AND MENTAL
HEALTH
The new realities of working from home, temporary
unemployment, home-schooling of children, and lack of
physical contact with other family members, friends and
colleagues take time to get used to. Adapting to lifestyle
changes such as these, and managing the fear of
contracting the virus and worry about people close to us
who are particularly vulnerable, are challenging for all of
us. They can be particularly difficult for people with mental
health conditions.
Fortunately, there are lots of things that we can do to look
after our own mental health and to help others who may
need some extra support and care.
Here are tips and advice that we hope you will find useful.
1.Keep informed
2. Have routines
3. Minimize news feed
4. Social contact is important
5. Alcohol and drug use
6.Screen time
7.Support health workers

delivered or asking for medical care. Make sure you have a one-month
supply or longer of your regular medicines. Ask family members, friends or
neighbours for support, if needed.
