New Delhi, Aug 23: All is not well even among those who are not yet tested Covid-19 positive.
Thankfully, the vast majority of us have escaped the pandemic thus far and it is something to rejoice in, despite the pain on seeing others fall around us.
But, according to Health experts, even if only a small percentage of us get this virus, 100 per cent of us are psychologically affected by it. The experts underlined that as with the virus, so many hinges on making an early intervention in cases that can turn serious.
A particular category, highlighted by the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (Nimhans) are the “worried well,” who are healthy persons with such fears of falling sick as can grow to disable.
The ‘revelation’ from Nimhans came amid country becoming the third nation in the world to register three million Covid-19 infections, going past the grim milestone on Saturday when nearing 70,500 fresh cases were recorded, the highest single-day count so far with 917 deaths.
