Assisting others in their time of need can benefit the helper as well as the person receiving the support. COVID-19 has affected, and is likely to affect, people from many countries and in many geographical locations. Do not attach a label of COVID-19 to any ethnicity or nationality.

PERSPECTIVE ON PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ON HUMAN'S LIFE DURING THE PANDEMIC

Public health emergencies may affect the health, economy, safety, and well-being of both individuals (causing, for example, insecurity, confusion, emotional isolation, and stigma) and communities (owing to economic loss, work and school closures,). These effects may translate into a range of emotional reactions (such as distress or psychiatric conditions), unhealthy behaviours (such as excessive substance use), and non-compliance with public health directives (such as home confinement and vaccination) in people who contract the disease and in the general population. Health care providers have an important role in addressing these emotional outcomes as part of the pandemic response. The most important thing is how drastically people's life changed during the pandemic time as most people lost family and neighbours. This leads to some changes in the psychology of human beings. In most cases, many have committed some sort of crime and went on an unsecured path. Human psychology has changed and is mainly focused on how to be independent and how to feel secure in this situation. In this paper, our main focus is on the effects COVID-19 has had on human psychology and how most people are adjusting to this situation.
