Coronavirus disease 2019 and its pervasive anxiety in the world

Abstract

Psychotherapy approaches such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and emotionally focused therapy have also been used in this study, which considers subjects of cognition, attachment and emotion. However, this virus, together with the damage it has caused, has also provided people with opportunities to develop their existential and skill-building capacities and has led to achievements. These include upgrading the hardware and software capabilities; improving the knowledge of specialists; adhering to the principles of health and hygiene by the public; enhancing the spirit of empathy between people and authorities; understanding the importance of the efforts of medical staff; publishing scientific articles and reaching knowledge limits; identifying strengths and weaknesses in various areas, especially in the field of crisis interventions; increasing public awareness in the medical field, particularly of communicable diseases; enhancing the sense of responsibility of individuals and authorities; and lack of excessive trust in cyberspace.
