Anxiety during the epidemic (anxiety caused by the epidemic)

Through research, it is found that regularity and sense of control can cope with anxiety and panic. Establish a good lifestyle, go to bed early and get up early for three meals a day, regularly and quantitatively, and avoid staying up late.

Face the epidemic situation correctly
