MENTAL HEALTH IN COVID ERA

2020 and 2021 would perhaps be remembered by most for all the wrong reasons – personal losses loss of employment change in livelihood economic turmoil medical challenges isolation battle all around – the virus outside and the disease within. But it would also be remembered by some if not many as the years which led to gross changes in thinking and life approaches. Perhaps no other event had shaken global humanity as much for the last few decades.Against this backdrop was this book born – a product then of tumultuous times. The virus and more like it are inevitable if humankind chooses to continue thus unabated. The pandemic is a grim warning of further and more such. We could try –the green way through flora-fauna and nature to conservation and respect for other’s existence to concern for habit-habitat to awareness of global-local from social commitment to individual well-being. The decision is ours –entirely.Let us then consciously move from barrenness to green from darkness to wisdom…hereafter.
