A mathematical model has been proposed to consider two distinct forms of psychological pressure that arise due the COVID-19 situation and their impact on individuals’ lives, including mental well-being happiness. For a more realistic situation, effect stochasticity should be taken into account. Hence, our paper mainly investigates stochastically environmental variability transmission dynamics stress. We obtain thresholds [Formula: see text] text]. If text], stress will persist there unique stationary distribution; whereas if extinction is obtained. Moreover, we display mean first passage time from initial value state disappearance in order examine disturbances; meanwhile, conduct numerical simulations illustrate theoretical findings.

Abstract Background This study investigated the longitudinal association between psychological distress in post-acute phase and subsequent prolonged sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) among individuals with PASC. Methods An online survey 1-year interval was conducted from July to September 2021 (T1) 2022 (T2). Individuals who were 20-years-old or older, had a positive Polymerase Chain Reaction test, one month post-infection, did not select “Nothing” question regarding PASC presence included. The primary outcome at T2. general, respiratory, muscular, neurological, gastrointestinal, dermatological, cardiac symptoms T2 also used as an patients relevant time 1 (T1). Exposure measured using Kessler scale (K6) T1, those whose K6 13 higher identified having distress. Marginal structure models robust standard errors examine T1 any T2, associations each symptom participants T1. Results A total 1674 analyzed; 17%had ; In total, 818 (48.9%), 523 (31.2%), 672 (40.1%) reported neurological respectively. odds (Odds Ratio [OR] =1.81, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]= 1.08 – 3.03) general respiratory (OR = 1.95, CI 1.02 3.76; OR 2.44, 1.03 5.80).

This study examined the factors affecting depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation among patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) during early phase of COVID-19 in South Korea investigated role stigma moderating effects loneliness on mental health problems these patients. Conducted as part Mental Health Panel Survey over 12 weeks 2021, this survey enrolled participants aged 15-79 years, applying standardized weights for ratio correction, collected 640 completed questionnaires. Demographic characteristics were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Suicidal ideation, depression post-COVID-19 t-tests logistic regression. The PROCESS macro explored stigma's outcomes. Results showed that 7.9% 10.0% at risk anxiety respectively, 3% contemplating suicide post-COVID-19. Stigma positively impacted acting a significant moderator loneliness, health, stronger effect higher perception. Unemployment college education elevated risks cases. Low satisfaction poor sleep linked to while fatigue increased risks. Loneliness was significantly associated anxiety. Unemployment, education, low satisfaction, ideation. Fatigue raised depression/anxiety correlated thoughts, moderated link between issues.
