Abstract

Mental health is a condition where individuals are free from all forms of symptoms of mental disorders. Mentally healthy individuals can function normally in carrying out their lives, especially when adjusting to face problems that will be encountered throughout one's life by using stress processing abilities. The Corona virus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has transformed mental health as an important health issue for the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies mental health as an integral component of dealing with COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic with its massive transmission and high mortality rate creates problems that lead to mental disorders. Mental health policies in Indonesia must optimize the integration of mental health services. Mental health is an important thing that must be considered as physical health. It is known that the state of mental and physical health stability affects each other. Mental health disorders are not a complaint only obtained from lineage. The demands of life that have an impact on excess stress will have an impact on worse mental health disorders.
