It's evident that the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a heavy toll on both mental and physical well-being of people around the world. While the entire focus is at treating the symptoms of COVID-19 virus in individuals, mental health has taken a back seat. With the limitations on movement and fear of stepping out, we might just have the solution to tend to mental wellbeing right from the comfort of our homes.
Smartphones have become an extension of ourselves, allowing us to do everything, including seek treatment for symptoms of COVID. But it is important to find the right source to make sure the information perceived won't add to the troubles. If you're looking for sources to help you with your mental health, you're at the right place.
