Abstract

In this COVID-19 pandemic, many mental health problems arose. The mental health difficulties are sufficiently significant to disturb the peace and wellbeing of the people involved. A poor population's mental health needs are complex (elderly individuals, those with chronic co-morbidity, youth and disadvantaged population, emergency care professionals, police officers, and patients with pre-existing mental health issues). In resource-scarce environments, in the light of the person-centered treatment paradigm, there is an immediate need to plan to meet the emerging challenge.
