The book basically focuses on the issues of mental health awareness among the masses, promote prevention, and stimulate practical intervention. The impact of internet on mental health has become an indispensable part of modern life, but it also has repercussions that are likely to affect everyone’s mental health in some way.
During COVID-19, many challenges related to network connectivity and technological issues hampered the work culture which affects the mental health of an individual directly. As a result, there is an increase in stress and a decrease in commitments in the life. This led to decline in mental health. This book is an effort to deal with such mental issues.
