During the earliest phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, the threat presented by COVID-19 was unknown. The sudden, unanticipated declaration of emergency, the global lockdown, the lack of treatment, the exhaustion of infrastructures, the highly contagious nature of the virus, and the reports of large numbers of people dying in various parts of the world triggered significant psychological distress among the population.11 to 14 persons experienced distress, independent of socioeconomic status or vulnerability. The need for mental health care among the populace as a whole increased dramatically.[11] Transport was interrupted, local healthcare facilities and routine healthcare services were closed, and consequently, the majority of people were unable to get vital mental health services, resulting in widespread chaos. Despite this, governments were able to appropriately handle the growing issues over mental health and other healthcare services. During this pandemic, the increasing use of internet-based healthcare services is a significant trend.
