The stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and fear brought about by the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic can take a toll on a person’s mental health. Nobody really knows when this public health emergency will end and until now, there is no proven cure for the disease. With most businesses shut down, this also means more people have lost or will lose their source of income in the coming weeks.

It is normal to worry about how it will affect your life. Will you be able to survive the virus if you become infected? How about your loved ones who are at a higher risk? Will you still be able to keep your job? How are you going to pay your bills?

While these are legitimate questions that you will have to face sooner or later, it will also not help if you worry yourself nonstop. When your mental health becomes poor, this could also affect your body physically, making your immune system weaker and more susceptible to diseases.

So, how can you take care of your mental health during the pandemic while you are stuck inside your home? Here are some useful tips.
