COVID-19 LOCKDOWN RELATED DEPRESSION AND IMMUNE SUPPRESSION: IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCE AND INDIAN ECONOMY

Abstract:
Unanimously lockdown is the most scientific way to flatten the curve of COVID-19. But, lockdown has the negative influence on social, psychological, physiological and economical aspects of life as well. Under this health emergency situation, the depression is playing its role as silent killer on immune suppression. Physiologically the immune suppressed people are more prone to any viral infection like COVID-19. Moreover, there are so many adverse effects of depression on our health. Therefore, it is a challenge to minimize the depression related immune suppression caused by the pandemic of Covid-19. The Government of India should admit the truth of physiology in the light of depression related to immune suppression during the lockdown period. Without the sweat of healthy human resources, money cannot reform Indian economy. Therefore, many anti-depressant strategies have to be taken by the Government to minimize the psychological depression linked directly with the health of human resources. Therefore, this is the high time to think positively about the anti-depressant strategies to minimize and flatten the curve of COVID-19 in future.
