The plant world is the gold mine of contemporary medicine because of the abundance of bioactive compounds and secondary metabolites it contains. In fact, it is a therapeutic and preventative dietary supplement that helps the body resist disease and age more gracefully. The papaya (Carica papaya L.), featured above, is an associate of the Caricaceae family and is widely regarded for its useful nutritional and therapeutic benefits around the world. Papaya's nutritional and medicinal value comes from its many parts, including its leaves, roots, skin, fruit, and seeds. It thrives in warm, humid climates and is widely distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics. This review aims to synthesize, by the end of 2022, data on papaya's functional activity culled from electronic sources, including Dimensions, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science and Science Direct. Papaya is a good dietary supplement because of the wealth of research detailing the plant's utilization of many medicinal chemicals. Numerous vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, including papain, glycylendopeptidase, chymopapain, and caricain, can be found in plant extracts, notably those made from the fruits and leaves. These chemicals have anticancer actions; reduce inflammation, hyperglycemia, infertility, hypertension problems, and more thanks to their intriguing nutraceutical qualities. Papaya seeds peel, and leave have medical promise, but additional study is needed to determine dosage, mechanism of action, and safety profile. Therefore, this review urges the implementation of public health awareness initiatives to encourage the consumption of papaya so that the general public can reap the fruit's full potential in preventing and treating disease.

The global population is feeling the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic. The effects of this pandemic have been felt on all levels of society, including the economy, people's health, and their mental state. As a result, it's becoming urgent to study the impact of the pandemic on people's mental health. With this context in mind, we conducted a literature search of the PubMed database for information about the COVID-19 outbreak that was relevant to mental health. In order to synthesize the existing literature addressing mental health issues and stressors connected to the COVID-19 epidemic, a narrative review of the literature was conducted. In this investigation, we mostly used PubMed, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar to search for relevant articles. Anxiety, heightened anxiety rates, and sadness are only some of the psychopathologies that have been linked to pandemics. Both violent crime and eating problems are on the rise as well. Public institutions should prepare their health systems for the rising number of cases of mental illness. Appropriate preventive measurements should be taken with digital therapeutics.
