Coronavirus lockdown in China raises mental health concerns

Strict regulations to control the spread of coronavirus in China are taking a toll on mental health as people are confined to their homes for weeks.
Health professionals say millions are struggling to cope with anxiety and fears over the future.
Those under lockdown in Wuhan, the epicentre of the virus, are particularly at risk.

I have no problem staying at home, for the safety of everyone. My family of 5 have been staying at our home for one month.

It can not be that bad, as long as there is wifi internet for, youtube, netflix, and games.. a karaoke set would be a good to.

Now imagine this on the heels of a world war....
Thus the name "the lost generation"
Many from the war and flu were 18-29 years old... The survivors of that age group had a tough time even after was all said and done.

I am totally fine with staying at home without going out for 1 week. 1 month though is kinda harsh...

There is nothing impossible in China today. Because all they can do, (made in china)

Well, since I'm already a depressive, crazy, unemployed introvert shut-in — locking myself within the confines of my apartment for weeks on end with little-to-no face-to-face human interaction really doesn't bother me. Bring on the quarantine.

[bilalansari]

Omg .. just like uyighur Muslim detention camps

[alfredodestino]

Yep, I've lived in Shanghai for 24 years, and this is the first time I haven't go out of my estate for more than 1 months. That's crazy!

[iiihamzapoloiii]

Playstation is a life saviour in this stage

[nhinhocucon]

You guys need to stop killing the poor animal for food then it moves. You guys are brutal so this is the reason why you guys should get a critical punishment from this planet. Pray and ask God for a forgiving. You guys should love animals.

[Jetsen]

Wuhan, thank you for your sacrifice! You have given the world more time.

[eyyoztl]

As an introvert and someone with social anxiety i will be fine as long as there is wifi and internet access.

[yeusean]

I got mental health issue watching your videos.

[sheltertwo]

That’s so sad. Isolation can be really hard on a lot of people. I hope the lockdown ends soon 😕

[aripram]

tell them to do fasting, coz food is now decreasing fastly.
so they will start fasting even before ramadhan
