Modern society’s social and economic domains became severely distorted with the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Although this was only one of the several epidemics faced by the world in the last two decades, its scale and severity were substantially more devastating compared to other pandemics such as the SARS-CoV in 2002, H1N1 influenza in 2009, and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012. Like previous outbreaks, Covid-19 also triggered pressure on individuals and communities’ psychological and social aspects. The Covid-19 pandemic caused extended stress exposure. In order to help the public psychologically, academics were increasingly concerned with measuring social and psychological unrest being developed in the human lives. Certain groups tend to be more prone to post-traumatic, depressive, and anxious symptoms because they are more sensitive to stress.
