                      PSYCHOLOGICAL CRISIS DURING PANDEMIC 
PSYCHOLOGICAL CRISIS MEANING/ MENTAL HEALTH  CRISIS MEANING ---As per most of the researchers the  psychological crisis is a kind of  life event that an individual perceives as stressful to the extent that normal coping mechanisms are insufficient  . It can drive a living one from his/her normal state of mind to a stage , where the person can be changed in a drastic way and can commit many wrong things . 

PSYCHOLOGICAL CRISIS STAGES 



May be during this during this highly digitalyzed global world , we are much familiar with words like Psychological crisis  or Mental health crisis or Identification crisis  during this horrible Pandemic Period . 

As per our modern terminology , may be these words are so common and are used randomly . But various kind of data , statistics , research papers and the ongoing over all trends tell us about the extremely negative impact / effect on us for both short/long term during this covid-19 -pandemic period

" A psychological crisis is kind of life's event or part . when the individual faces some inner difficulties to mach up with the ongoing situation , then it may be treated as psychological crisis ". 
But when we discuss about the overall impact on us about " The psychological crisis during this Pandemic " , the ground is bigger enough . Because , technically after the second world war , This world did not face any such global crisis , caused by the covid -19 pandemic . 

  NEWS UPDATE FROM W.H.O , DATED 2ND OF MARCH -2022. 

Dr , Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus ,The Dirctor General of WHO also confirmed , " The information we have now about the impact of Covid-19 . on world's mental health is just the tip of the iceberg" . In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by a massive 25%, according to a scientific brief released by the World Health Organization (WHO) today. 













Now during this period , this world faced numberless death , breaking up the family , financial crisis , cut off in job sector , growth and pattern change of crime in financial fraudlant , human traficking , cyber crime , tendency of suicide and very naturally the basic parameters of Mental or Psychological stress , standard daily life , socio-economical and socio-cultural structure , concept of social stability and safety , proper employment , education and parenting , moral degradation ,  massive breakdown in health and life saving service -like numberless negative factors , just because of the lockdown and pandemic - caused by the covid-19 . 
All these changes are so drastic in reality and the biggest factor before us , that we have no proper point of the deapth and long term impact of this Psychological Crisis , due to Pandemic on our overall society . 


SITUATION BEFORE THE PANDEMIC 


 The UK Government's lockdown, implemented on March 23, 2020, stipulated severe restrictions on social contact, on the ability for many people to work, and greatly reduced access to services. Early indications suggest a serious impact on employment and livelihoods, income, and personal debt. It caused a   substantial amount of worry about future insecurity,  there are increasing concerns about the mental health sequelae of the pandemic in the UK. Policymakers, commissioners, and service providers need reliable information about mental health changes associated with the pandemic so that decisions are underpinned by knowledge of the scale of changes in population mental health, and who is most vulnerable to symptoms of mental distress.

Evidence from around the world on change in population mental health potentially attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic has been limited by use of convenience samples, modified or unvalidated mental health measures, and a lack of comparable, pre-COVID-19 baseline data against which to measure change; either within individuals or across the population as a whole. One study found increased rates of psychological crisis experience   among US adults in April, 2020, compared with those in 2018, and that the increase was greatest in young people aged 18–24 years and women.

Well described demographic effects on mental health such as sex, age, and socioeconomic resources, in addition to pre-pandemic life circumstances, are likely to remain important determinants of people's mental health during the pandemic. However, changes in mental health during the public health emergency might not be evenly distributed across the population. Effects pertinent to lockdown include acute financial strain (low income, unemployment), household dynamics (domestic violence, living alone or with young children not attending nursery or school), and having an underlying mental or physical health condition; specific effects include being a keyworker exposed to potential infection. For some people with high levels of socioeconomic security, the suspension of commuting, changes to education and work activities, and increased time with family potentially could have reduced stress and increased mental health and wellbeing. For others, anxieties about infection risk could be particularly high. WHO has emphasised concerns for older adults, especially those in isolation, and those with cognitive decline or dementia, who could become more anxious, angry, stressed, agitated, or withdrawn during the outbreak or while in quarantine.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CRISIS EXPERINCE  AMAONG THE CHILDREN 

The way , a child needs the standard physical health system and natural growth for a better future , same way the the psychological stability and mental growth are also so much vital for being rational . Untill we can turn a child into rational one with basic connectivity and communicative skills with others , mainly family , friends , community and society , our duty is not finished . It is extremely vital for the children to communicate and practice some activities to know others and to be known to others . 

But the lockdown and to be more specific the Pandemic , caused by the COVID-19 virus , not just only disturbed their mental growth and stabiliyty , rather it deprived them very brutally from their easy and simple natural life , when they are to be benefitted with obseaving the new things , discovering them , communicating with various demographical candidates through community and educational institute . 

During the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 330 million youngsters have been stuck at home, till March 2021, for at least nine months, since the virus spread uncontrollably this time last year.

The above number is just documented . There is higher possibility for the documentation to be manupulated in the third world countries like India , Bangladesh , Srilanka , Pakistan , Nepal , in many countries of Africa and Latin America - where a massive area of population live below  standard life style and numberless benefitting programs are running in these countries through various social groups and Govt Sponsored area like Basic health care system , educational Institute . Might be in these countries , along with the Pandemic , lockdown , reduced family income , domestical violences - the corruption also played a vital role to destroy the childhood mental growth . 

Mild signs of anxiety, such as difficulty in sleeping or concentrating, have become common. But children are very resilient, and most will manage to cope with parents and peers' support.Some children are at greater risk of developing intense reactions, including severe anxiety, depression, and suicidal tendencies. Any pre-existing mental health problem, past traumatic experiences or abuse, family instability, or losing a loved one can make children highly vulnerable to developing severe mental health conditions.

PSYCHOLOGICAL OR MEMTAL CRISIS FROM COVID DURING THE PANDEMIC IN THE RELATIONSHIPS 

Firstly  this pandemic very directly pushed up numberless unhappy relationship to complete separation or sucidal one . Many relationships could be rebuilt and went on directly for separation . Many unhappy  relationship could be ended through a legal and stable separation , but was typically ended up with severe domestical violence or sucidal activities .  Staying together for long time , insecurity , woorifying situation related to health , money , job and finally the overall lockdown and work from home culture -pushed numberless marriege and relationships to the acid test . Loosing of job , shortage of income and financial instability hit the most in case " Live in " relationships , where both compromising and financial contribution are big factor . Another , drastic trend of growth  is seen in the case of Gender based Crime in case family and domestcal violence. 

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CRISIS DUE TO JOBLLOSS , UNDERPAYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT 

 Pandemic-related disruption has also brought “catastrophic consequences” for the world’s two billion informal sector workers.

Compared to 2019, an additional 108 million workers worldwide are now categorized as “poor” or “extremely poor” – meaning that they and their families live on the equivalent of less than $3.20 per person, per day. ( Just imagine the amount on global level and think of the value of $3.20 in your country currency - if $3.20/day is really so low amount to live , then what is ultimate economical effect of pandemic on developing and undeveloped countries ? ) 

And when we focus on new and fresh employment , the point is more critical as  Youth employment has also continued to suffer the economic downturn, falling 8.7 per cent in 2020, compared with 3.7 per cent for adults.

“While signs of economic recovery are appearing as vaccine campaigns are ramped up, the recovery is likely to be uneven and fragile,” Mr Ryder said, as ILO unveiled its forecast that global unemployment will reach 205 million people in 2022, up from 187 million in 2019. 

So there is no hope in reality at all for the common in employment sector . And very pathetically the corporate sectors are using the worst situation by offering direct Cut-off or under rated payment . Big changes in working system and schdule is pushing the women to harder area to work on and very naturally the women are being the victim of " Gender based inequality" . 

And during and now , when the pandemic is still on with different varient and there is no clear indication from the WHO about the Covid -19 to be stopped , then there is no tactical change taken by Any Govt in Education and Employment system , so that the youth may find a hope .

WE NEED TO THINK AGAIN TO STAND AGAIN 


" PROPER EMPLOYMENT "  - could be the first and foremost step towards a standard life to fight against the pandemic and related situations .   

As India is one of the famous place to the world for Touring ,  quality education ,  social safety , sports and finally with the highest level of natural variation with beauty , cultural distribution - so very technically the picture of the overall empowerment through proper employment is very crystal clear . 

Here should be no doubt or debate for us to accept the  reality .  Upcoming days are tough and to match with it , we need to be more and more trained and dedicated to our inner self as the overall concept of life has been changed globally . So now , when we are struggling to exist then at the same time we need to be more and more tunned to sound well along with the change . Here is no chance to compromise with anything . 

 " SHORTAGE OF PROPER EMPLOYMENT "  --  To be clear , proper employment is now a tough job for anyone to arrange now .  You do not need to debate about this factor . Some basic points should be set up in your brain

 1) Even the America and European people were being deprived from their proper employment and that is not pandemic crisis - Rather it was highly active due to the flowing braindrain  from  undeveloped countries . 

2) Either people will gossip or make excuse - But no organisation or personel can sort out the crisis . 

3 ) Most of the people are either underpaid or loosing their normal job and have to move somewhere unknown sectors . 

SO FOR THE COMMON , IT IS THE TIME TO EXIST . IF ANYHOW ONE CAN MAKE IT - HE IS LUCK NOW . SO ALL THE WAYS , YOU NEED TO TUNE WITH THE CRISIS PERIOD ANYHOW - ALONG WITH FINACIAL , THE PROBLEM IS PSYCHOLGICAL TOO . 

EVEN WHEN , THE PANDEMIC WAS NOT AT ALL - MANY OF US WERE TRENDING TO GET A SEPARATE LIFE AND STARTED TO BELIEVE ONLY IN SELF DEVELOPMENT . SO ALREADY WE LOST MANY COMMUNICATIONS . THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT THAT WE CAN HAVE NOW AND GETTING TUNNED WITH OTHERS . 

ONE GOOD POINT IS HERE OF PANDEMIC . IT SHOWED THE MONEY TO BE A FACTOR ALL THE TIMES . MANY PEOPLE HAD ENOUGH MONEY - BUT THEY DIED LONELY . THEY NEEDED MINIMUM COMMUNICATION WITH OTHERS TO RESQUE THEM . HAD THEY NOT LOOSE ALL THEIR COMMUNICATIONS , AND COULD STAY TUNNED WITH OTHERS - THEY COULD LIVE . THEY DIED WITH COMMON ILLNSS AND DUE TO THEIR UNCOMMON LIFESTYLE . THEY THOUGHT THAT THE MONEY POWER COULD BREAK THE NATURAL CHAIN OF COMMUNICATION AND GOT FAILED TOTALLY . 

So anyhow , you need to be psychologically tunned with others . Social distance is not psychological distance . Once you are distant - you are distracted . Basic communication and bonding , sharing and common feeling -are the ways for all now to live

BENEFIT OF BEING TUNNED  -  As we  believe the Nature to be greatest classroom and life is to be the best teacher , so from that point , this terminology tunning  could be easily replaced by the word  matching  as each time we are already being matched  with the situation .  Along with the proper education and empowerment , we need to join more and more group activity like program . It is very vital - not only to keep own psychological aspect in a changing form , but also to know about the ongoing psychological aspects changing and inner conflict of others . 

The biggest factor is that , we are already distracted from our natural life - and if now we loose the opportunity , to be others - it will be graet blunder and we will face a typical communication gap

The very exact areas to be developed with this life style  :

1)    Through this practice ,  we would be able to realize the very basic primary needs of our overall life .

      ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS 

1 ) What is the parameter of a basic standard life

2) Why do we need to work  or earn money ?

3) Why modification with time and space is vital ?

4) Very ultimately what is the utility of  thinking  in our life  ?  Etc

 The primary object of this program  is to ensure that we would not loose our job in   global depressive financial market .

As the total concept of life has been changed and the final destination is yet to come , so very naturally  , the very basic need of life is also being changed . And in this changed era as most of the corporate houses are cutting of their employees and on the other  , we believe in  activity  so all of us need to be modified equally and equivalent to the changed world.

Various kind of group activity based  program / schedule would be enjoyable to us hopefully ,  if  the program  is not like traditional one , rather the total schedule would be designed into practical  :  theoretical = 80 : 20.

And this theoretical part will also not be like traditional training room  , as all of us here enough experienced in relevant area . Rather the theoretical program will be based on role-play , group discussion , debate , daily global updated news and all these will be  practiced in our daily working schedule as practical part of this program.

 The overall program  criteria will be based on daily work schedule and will be focused on the changed area of food , health , culture , pre-caution and protection from any kind of diseases ,  crime and terrorism , and to overall safety and security of life and psychological safety.


WAY  OF  NEW LIFESTYLE -  Generally the concept seems to be a newer one .  But in reality , nothing is new . Many of us already did that even in primary school  life .  It was easy then as we were easy then . Now it seems to be critical , as we think in a critical way . 

You just need to connect with others , make a common platform , and discuss .  There should be no schedule in primary level . Once you will be connected with others , automatically you will get a common way to be a part of a community and once you are a part of community - you are not alone anymore . The overall process will be to ensure us to work against the highest level of difficulties with highest level of efficiency  with a great level of confidence . And to make it possible , the job role would be changed from time to time and each one would train each other to newer segments and solutions would come out from group work , role play , debate and many other curriculam . 

THE CONDUCTING AUTHORITY  -  If you ask me , " who will conduct this program in this crisis , when most of us jobless , going to be homeless , foodless  or CONDUCTING AUTHORITY 

My answer is so simple - " You need to conduct it for your own " - the meaning of education is being changed and the concept of employment is being changed everyday . Whatever you may try - but once you are alone - you will loose the battle . The time is really critical .  Sometimes offence is the best diffence . So as the time is critical - you need to be straight and simple .  All you need that is to use your simple body function  . 

You need to watch that , what the other people are facing . 

You need to listen to that , what is discussed by others. 

You need to know that , what others are facing and how are they trying to match ? 

You need to tell others , what you are thinking . 

Apart from family , now you need friends and apart from friends you need family . 

Just walk alone if you have none . Meet the unknown .  Talk to them . If you can not talk , seat and listen to them . Watch people very closely . Realise the people deeply . 

Remember - before the pandemic , " YOU WERE ALONE " and now through this pandemic , " YOU ARE NOT ALONE " . 

All you need that is to communicate  with others .  You are not asking for help to others and others are not asking for help from you .  You just need to realise that many people may be there for you , if you can be there for them .  A VERY SIMPLE EGOLESS CONNECTIVITY IS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY

I know about the conflicts , those will come to your mind . But I can assure you that , you need to be changed now and to have the change from now  

SO FROM NOW - SPEAK LOUDLY AND LISTEN TO EVERYONE FOR FEELING OF COMMON SAFETY AND SECURITY .
