The COVID-19 epidemic has thrown the globe into chaos as governments struggle to contain the virus's spread. While considerable attention has been paid to health problems, reports of the social-psychological impacts of this pandemic are on the increase, ranging from mental distress and personal disputes to racial assaults and patriotic behaviors. Moreover, these social-psychological impacts may have long-term repercussions that will likely outlast the epidemic. Globally, the physical impacts of COVID-19 may be felt. The influence of Post-COVID-19 on mental health is a subject that has not been well explored. The reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic may resemble the response to natural catastrophes or other comparable catastrophic occurrences affecting a community and may create chronic anguish in the afflicted population. The psychological reaction to the Covid-19 epidemic has been immediately recorded; in communities rarely affected, it resembles symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The unfavorable psychological effects of COVID-19, such as anxiety and depression, have been widely expected but have not yet been precisely quantified. Data science enables academics to evaluate the past and future consequences of mental diseases on the United States and worldwide populations. When the consequences are defined and substantiated by statistics, the argument for allocating much-needed resources to mental health research and treatment accessibility is strengthened. Using data science approaches, the book contains chapters describing the influence of post-COVID-19 psychological impacts.

Pandemics are large-scale epidemics that spread throughout the world. Virologists predict that the next pandemic could occur in the coming years, probably from some form of influenza, with potentially devastating consequences. Vaccinations, if available, and behavioral methods are vital for stemming the spread of infection. However, remarkably little attention has been devoted to the psychological factors that influence the spread of pandemic infection and the associated emotional distress and social disruption. Psychological factors are important for many reasons. They play a role in nonadherence to vaccination and hygiene programs, and play an important role in how people cope with the threat of infection and associated losses. Psychological factors are important for understanding and managing societal problems associated with pandemics, such as the spreading of excessive fear, stigmatization, and xenophobia that occur when people are threatened with infection. This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the psychology of pandemics. It describes the psychological reactions to pandemics, including maladaptive behaviors, emotions, and defensive reactions, and reviews the psychological vulnerability factors that contribute to the spreading of disease and distress. It also considers empirically supported methods for addressing these problems, and outlines the implications for public health planning.

Urban slum dwellers—especially in emerging-economy countries—are often poor, live in squalor, and suffer unnecessarily from disease, disability, premature death, and reduced life expectancy. Yet living in a city can and should be healthy. Slum Health exposes how and why slums can be unhealthy; reveals that not all slums are equal in terms of the hazards and health issues faced by residents; and suggests how slum dwellers, scientists, and social movements can come together to make slum life safer, more just, and healthier. Editors Jason Corburn and Lee Riley argue that valuing both new biologic and “street” science—professional and lay knowledge—is crucial for improving the well-being of the millions of urban poor living in slums.

This volume examines the undesirable or harmful cognitive, emotional and behavioural side-effects of COVID-19 and of the behavioural restrictions imposed by governments on their populations during the pandemic. Societal "lockdowns" and other intervening behavioural restrictions, built significantly around social isolation, used by governments to control the spread of COVID-19 disrupted the lives of most people. There were economic costs for many as workplaces closed down, as well as severe stresses on friendships and romantic relationships, an increase in instances of abuse and domestic violence, and concerns about people drinking too much alcohol or gambling too much as compensatory behaviours. Understanding which people were at risk, and in what ways, could teach important lessons for the future. Presenting a timely review of the most recent international research and evidence, author Barrie Gunter assesses the major collateral, psychological side-effects of the pandemic. Looking forward, Gunter also considers how new models might be developed that take into account not just the need to halt the spread of a new virus, but also minimise collateral damage which could be every bit as severe in both the short term and long term. Identifying and analysing the nature and severity of collateral side-effects of pandemic-related behaviour restrictions, this is essential reading for students and researchers in psychology, public health and medical sciences and policymakers assessing government strategies, responses and performance.
