How should we maintain mental health in the face of the epidemic?

During the epidemic period, we should do a good job in psychological epidemic prevention while doing a good job in normalized epidemic control. Specific measures can be taken as follows:

Understand the relevant scientific knowledge of COVID-19. People are afraid of COVID-19, mainly because they don't know enough about it, and they don't know what to do when facing COVID-19. So in their spare time, they can learn some medical knowledge about COVID-19 and some popular science articles on the Internet. Only by understanding the characteristics and occurrence law of COVID-19 can we effectively avoid psychological barriers and do a good job in psychological construction and epidemic prevention.

Learn to eliminate anxiety and anxiety by yourself. Whenever an epidemic comes, people always feel anxious and uneasy, which is a normal psychological behavior. However, in order to minimize the influence of this psychological behavior, we should treat COVID-19 in a scientific way and prepare for a long-term struggle with COVID-19. During the epidemic prevention and control, we must obey the local epidemic prevention and control policies and management, and we also need to do personal protection at ordinary times.

We should correct our prejudice against COVID-19. Although some people will know relevant knowledge on the Internet, they have a cognitive prejudice against COVID-19 because of their limited knowledge. For example, it's hard to get better with COVID-19, or my future life will be gloomy with COVID-19. These are very wrong ideas and cognition, which must be corrected in time.

We can comfort each other psychologically. Man is a gregarious animal. In the face of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control, we should also fight the virus as a team. Therefore, we can cheer for each other in the fight against the epidemic, such as medical staff working in the front line, and many netizens cheer for them online. The virus is heartless and has only psychological comfort, so we can try our best to defeat COVID-19 with confidence and ability.
