The consequences of the coronavirus pandemic have begun to be observed in people in Kosovo, in the aspenci of mental health problems.
The renowned Kosovo psychiatrist Dr. Africa Cana, who in a conversation about Mediafocus.info, has said that pandemic has contributed to the breakdown of emotional balance in humans.
<x) The breakdown of this balance brings to itself other problems in the area of individual mental health and that the subsequent manifestations are precisely of individual character”, says Dr. Africa Cana, for Mediafocus.
According to him, clinical manifestations are observed through symptoms with anxiety disorders and depression, but also exacerbamation or worsening serious mental illness because, he said, the time factor has a direct impact on their manipulation.
“The total pandemic affects the entire indigenous life, but also collectively is characterized by numerous distributive-defining measures, which then affects many spheres in individual life”, adds Cana to Mediafocus.info.
The renowned psychiatrist has also spoken of a large part of Kosovars who have been declared to deny that the COVID-19 virus exists.
In most cases when people face such situations as threats, they often use inadequate defense mechanisms. And among them is the [cause for] denial. So the individual, while he is in such a situation, presents all his behaviors and attitudes as ungrateful to the events in which he is located”, has said Cana, to add that the change in government has affected this situation.
Then, even the general political situation in which our country has passed through this pandemic, changes in government, have had an impact directly on the creation of these opinions in the population, because I think that when trust in adequate institutions falls, then very often people create different stereotypes that do not match current reality”, the psychiatrist Dr. Africa Cana, who is also director of the Mental Health Center in the Gnjilan region.
