The pandemic has everyone in a very difficult situation, it has managed to break any routine and balance that might have existed until December last year.
There is something reasonable here, and we certainly need to stay very focused so that we do not go in as individuals in cases as well. And it is not to be criticised that for a good part of the population psychopathological manifestations are the order of the day, since there are factors that exert great pressure for this to be so.

I invite you to continue reading this publication and to know which are these factors that contribute to the increase of anxiety.

Knowing them will allow us to have more control over these, as well as being able to identify them in another and be able to provide help.

The whole situation that we have had to assume is technically an unexplored territory for all of us, and has left us defenseless against something that we cannot even see, adding to this that this situation can be prolonged in time indefinitely or at least unknown, and that this invisible enemy (Coronavirus) could infect anyone, including us.

Covid-19 is highly contagious, and is usually aggressive in most cases, which is why it is literally uncontrollable for modern man, and assuming that we usually control everything - or almost everything-, as well as always quantifying everything, the fact of not being able to do it, of facing something that is out of our control, no doubt it can be something.

Before this reality we are totally limited beings... and we don't usually see ourselves in such a way, this is very shocking in our mind.

The levels of anxiety in most people I can talk to have increased, the main reason I can say that they are the same in everyone:

• Getting sick and dying: No wonder, in the face of so much information circulating around the networks and people in general becoming saturated with it. Currently seeing increasingly high figures of death per day in countries considered great powers, always enters the doubt that it will happen in the country where we are, To that is added that adults, breadwinner, see a greater psychological burden even thinking that it will be his family if he or she sick or die from this disease.

• The uncertainty of not knowing what is going to happen with regard to employment, income, etc. It is not a lie to anyone that the economy is in recession, a product of the same pandemic. Many companies have closed and it is not known if it will be while this global situation finishes happening or simply they closed not to open any more. This possibility of many becoming unemployed, and not being able to earn enough to support themselves, has the minds of many in total chaos. And it raises the anxiety levels of much of the population.

• Quarantine or social isolation: Consider the following, most of us are used to stay at least 10-12 hours in the street, to go out for work, education, and all the routine that we have in our daily lives, we are social entities and also animals of habits, of routines. Having to stay all day, every day in a condition of isolation increases the chances of outbreaks of anxiety.

Added to this is the fact that many families do not get along very well, and this confinement exposes these realities, exposes them and allows the aforementioned factors to worsen the problems in families already dysfunctional. This is a serious social problem today.

However, all this is surmountable, in the next publication I will bring for all of you a series of tools that can be very useful to avoid falling into complicated family situations that lead to worsening the already complex situation brought about by the current reality.

Thank you very much for reading me.

See you at the next reading.
