Take care of your mental health

When the lockdown first began, it seemed unusual but tolerable. Over time, it has proven to be challenging in many ways as we remain within the confines of our homes day in, day out. The unprecedented situation resulting from the pandemic has taken a toll on the mental health of many of us. And the overuse of digital gadgets is adding to the burden. Also consider the impact of the endless torrent of negative news coming every day. As a result, depression, stress, frustration and anxiety are becoming commonplace. We have to make conscious efforts to uplift our mood during these strange times. Whatever we do, we must ensure that we don't let depression get the best of us.
