Abstract

Stigma and disease have an ancient relation. Since disease is being considered as the curse of God and patients of contagious diseases is considered as disease spreader facing the social rejection. Wreak havoc of COVID-19 across the globe has desolated the mindset of common man, fear, anxiety and ignorance of community fuelling the social discrimination. The patient can recover the physical wound or diseases but stigma strikes the soul of victim that debilitates the will for survival. Stigma does not only affect the patients only but also the front line warriors excruciating the global emergency. Psychological distress mitigation is still missing in COVID-19 coping strategies. This article is intended to provide an overview of social-stigmatization faced by different sets of population as well as to draw attention over mental health component assimilation in therapeutic measures of COVID-19. To ensure the physical, mental and social wellbeing of the individual and society as whole.
“被拒绝的痛苦比感染更严重”的印度视角
耻辱和疾病有着古老的关系。由于疾病被认为是上帝的诅咒,传染病患者被认为是面临社会排斥的疾病传播者。新冠肺炎在全球范围内的灾难摧毁了普通人的心态,恐惧、焦虑和对社区的无知助长了社会歧视。患者可以恢复身体创伤或疾病,但污名会打击受害者的灵魂,削弱其生存意愿。耻辱不仅影响到病人,也影响到在全球紧急情况下受苦受难的前线战士。在新冠肺炎应对策略中,心理压力缓解仍然缺失。本文旨在概述不同人群面临的社会污名化,并提请注意新冠肺炎治疗措施中的心理健康成分同化。确保个人和整个社会的身心健康和社会福祉。
