COVID-19 Impact on Psychological Health

Obed John Dagwa*

Considering this global critical moment, the pathology of an individual being that connects to their ancestral roots is usually believed to be worse. The COVID-19 emergence that has sent the globe to its knees has given us the mandate to analyze the pathologies of communities and more specifically, humans. Therefore, we tend to understand the pathologies in its entirety in relation to humans. In this paper, I studied the behavioural and attitudinal responses of Nigerian individuals in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. While using the social psychology theory in discussing some attitudinal and behavioural reactions exhibited by individuals, I observed discriminatory behaviors among some category of people towards others. Deriving at my hypothesis regarding such strange behaviors and attitudes, I strongly derived at the challenges that the society needs to tackle in relation to COVID-19. In other to achieve this objective, there must be an open access to clinical psychology.
