The trauma of dealing with the illness lasts much longer than the illness itself, said psychiatrist Jyoti Kapoor.
“This has taken a toll on the psychological health of most caregivers with longer lasting symptoms similar to PTSD. There has been an increase in instances of acute stress reaction, panic attacks, psychosomatic manifestations and psychosis in Covid patients.
“The crisis has impacted some sectors and groups much harder. In particular, it has hit women and youth, along with those in the informal economy.Those are also the groups facing the most difficult situations today and the biggest risk of being left behind in the months and years ahead,”ILO Director-General Guy Ryder said.
Ryder outlined the cataclysmic impact of COVID-19, which has led to the loss of the equivalent of 161 million full-time jobs in the G20 nations. This, he said, represents a world of work crisis four times as severe as the one triggered by the financial crisis of 2008/09.
