    This book provides an in-depth understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on the psychological health of people and communities in India.

    Focusing on the current discourse on mental health literacy in India, the book also analyses COVID-19-specific health beliefs and their convergences and divergences with COVID-19 protocols and advisories. It discusses the impact of the pandemic on survivors of COVID-19 including their quality of life, psychological well-being, and coping mechanisms while tackling loneliness, loss, and grief. It explores the psychological and social challenges which children have faced during the pandemic and offers techniques to address and adequately manage mental health challenges.

    Grounded in theoretical and empirical research, this book will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers of psychology, social psychology, mental health and wellness studies, and sociology. It will also be useful for academicians, social workers, healthcare workers, and psychologists.
