Although few studies have been conducted on the role about the effect of social media use on mental health during lockdown and impact on human reactive nature during lockdown. As a rapidly spreading pandemic, a biomedical disease has serious physical and tremendous mental health implications. An occupational community of internal migrant workers is one of the most vulnerable, but neglected, and is likely to develop psychological ill-effects due to COVID-19's double whammy impact. Mental health is a crucial aspect that needs to be addressed during this lock-down as all modes of communication revolve around the virus. There are many difficulties with the unprecedented changes that have occurred so quickly due to the pandemic and stay-at - home confinement to achieve social distance and mitigate the risk of infection. These include impaired health, well-being, and sleep as a result of daily routine disruption, anxiety, worry, isolation, greater stress on family and work, and excessive screen time. An essential part of our overall health and well-being is mental and emotional health. An important skill is managing emotions and maintaining emotional balance. It helps you face challenges and stress when you manage your emotional health. Lack of skills in emotional regulation may lead to poor mental health and relationship difficulties. It is as important to look after our mental health as it is to look after our physical health. For mental health professionals, the pandemic has also brought many ethical challenges.
