Abstract

The first outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei, China identified of the COVID-19 is certainly an unexpected tragedy. About nine million confirmed cases have been recorded worldwide due to the highly contagious nature of the coronavirus 1. The findings of accelerated trials since COVID-19 have demonstrated that individuals are vulnerable to pandemic-related psychiatric disorders, including depressive thoughts, anxiety and depression symptoms and post-traumatic symptoms. Moreover, almost all countries around the world have pursued a social isolation strategy in order to reduce the epidemic transmission. This measure, however, compromises our social activities and connections. Therefore it cannot be overlooked its impact on human psychological wellbeing. Since our research is little understanding of the fundamental mechanism of its effects, COVID-19 aims to examine the behavioural disorders associated with this indicator and the role it plays.
