COVID-19 has changed our lives in many ways. It has impacted on people's mental health and their well being. It is understandable that during times like this, people may be feeling afraid, worried, anxious and overwhelmed.


 Some people are feeling worried, stressed and anxious in relation to the coronavirus (COVID-19), while some are coping, and some are not. It is important while self-isolating to keep busy and in contact with family and friends.

But as a result of self-isolation domestic violence has risen. Some people have developed obsessive-compulsive disorder with cleaning. COVID-19 has an impact on children as well.

We speak to Professor Jan Ilhan Kizilhan, a psychologist, about the issues we have mentioned above. Professor Dr. Jan Ilhan Kizilhan, is a psychologist, psychotherapist, trauma expert, orientalist, head of the department of Mental Health and Addiction at the State University in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
