Our faculty member Mr. Masum Billah, Senior Lecturer, Department of Sociology, East West University, has recently published a review study based on quantitative and qualitative empirical evidence on "COVID-19 and Mental Health Impacts in Bangladesh." This review study sets to assess the association between COVID 19 and mental health impacts, specifically anxiety, stress, and depression of the people in Bangladesh.  According to the study, mental health impacts, caused by COVID-19-related risk perception and associated countrywide lockdowns, mobility restrictions, institutional closures, and incapacities of healthcare systems, have been mirrored in people irrespective of their age, gender, educational status, and social class. 

As the COVID-19 continues to evolve, allowing different phases of transmission, people may be tremendously burdened by developing higher stress levels, anxiety, and symptoms of depression more than the normal periods of life. The paper also suggested specific interventions for people of multifaceted spectrums to cope with the immediate and prolonged mental health impacts.
