Reliability of Anxiety Stress Irritability Behavioral Changes (Asib) – Neuro Psychosomatic Scale in the Post - Covid 19 Population

Abstract

The Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) has lead to universal psychosocial impact by causing mass hysteria, economic burden and financial losses. Mass fear of COVID-19, also called as “coronaphobia”, has generated a plethora of psychiatric problems all over the society. Disease itself multiplied by forced quarantine to combat COVID-19 applied by nationwide lockdowns can produce acute panic, anxiety, obsessive behaviors, hoarding, paranoia, and depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the long run. The ASIB neuro psychosomatic scale for post COVID - 19 patients is basically designed to evaluate the level of neuro psychosomatic impairments caused by COVID – 19.
