Individuals experiencing symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, restlessness, and disorientation, accompanied by issues like muscle pain, bloating, acid reflux, and heart palpitations, should immediately consider mental health disorders and seek early medical consultation.
Dr. Tran Thi Hong Thu, Deputy Director of Mai Huong Daytime Psychiatric Hospital in Hanoi, stated:
Recently, doctors have encountered a significant number of cases of depressive disorders. Most patients have been confined at home for too long, faced abrupt changes in their living environment, lost their jobs, or experienced life pressures, leading many to develop depression.

Some patients have come for consultations with severe anxiety and depressive disorders. One patient shared that after recovering from Covid-19, they continued to feel depressed, pessimistic, physically and mentally exhausted, lacking motivation, easily irritated, and often said hurtful things to others without intending to. Some patients even contemplated suicide.
Another patient constantly feels fatigued, frequently suffers from headaches, has shallow sleep, and sometimes experiences insomnia until morning. Additionally, a female patient has lost her appetite, no longer takes interest in her hobbies, and feels lost about her future. Fortunately, these cases sought early medical advice and received timely intervention.
Currently, many individuals have mental health issues without realizing it. They visit multiple clinics, undergo various tests and imaging, take numerous medications, yet their conditions do not improve. By the time they identify their issues, it is often too late, leading to serious consequences.
To treat depression, the most crucial factor is the patient’s willingness. Patients must acknowledge their condition and adhere to treatment with their physician.
Nevertheless, regardless of whether there is an ongoing pandemic, individuals experiencing symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, restlessness, and disorientation, along with issues like muscle pain, bloating, acid reflux, and heart palpitations, should immediately consider mental health disorders and seek early medical consultation.
Covid-19 has impacted the mental health of everyone; thus, if you notice any symptoms, it is essential to seek medical advice. For example, some functions such as eating, sleeping, and resting may not be normal, including:
- Difficulty sleeping, poor sleep quality, frequent nightmares, waking up in the middle of the night, and feeling tired upon waking…
- The most common state is chronic fatigue, with a lack of energy, motivation to work, or enthusiasm for anything.
- Emotional changes, increased irritability, anger, and being more petty than before, struggling to control one’s emotions.
- A fourth common state is excessive anxiety, overthinking, and difficulty concentrating, leading to an inability to accomplish tasks.
