The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have rippled across country borders, throughout the world's economy and in medical care systems. Specifically, the pandemic has significantly affected the mental health of individuals across the globe. According to the National Institute of Health, 96.2% of patients admitted for hospitalisation due to coronavirus reported high levels of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) compared to the general public, with 7%. The same researchers also found that, among healthcare workers, depression/depressive symptoms, anxiety, psychological distress and poor sleep quality increased significantly (Vindegaard and Benros, 2020). These symptoms are attributed to the high amounts of stress that healthcare and frontline workers are forced to confront at work on a daily basis. Research and data on the mental health of the general population are not as strong, but those with existing psychiatric conditions have reported that fears of getting sick and the inability to go outside have made their conditions worse (Lee, 2020).
