During the COVID period, unemployment, work-from-home burdens, salary reductions, and cost cuttings intensified psychological strain, with homemakers and housewives facing particularly demanding adjustments. The chapter frames how mental unfitness undermines motivation and daily functioning, while also examining the societal positioning of women’s caregiving roles.","Chapter  \nThe Psychological Aspects of Home-Makers and Women during Pandemic  \nSamina Firoz Wagla Wala  \nAbstract  \nDepression and anxiety are two faces of a coin and we unfortunately fail to understand the plight of a person suffering from any one of these mental conditions. However, nowadays people have started considering mental health as a serious and complex issue, but still, those suffering from it tend to shy away and hide in arrears their own dark curtains. Sometimes, a very normal looking person may also be a victim of mental breakdown and anxiety. He maybe working out fine, laughing, smiling, talking and all, but somewhere deep inside and within, he maybe crying his heart out. It just does not visibly appear so on the outside. Moreover, in the phase of COVID, this situation has aggravated a lot because of various reasons like loss of jobs, work from home, salary reductions and cost cuttings etc. The effect of these problems fell on the families overall, but the most suffered category was – THE HOMEMAKERS, or in other words, THE HOUSEWIVES. Housewives have usually higher resilience when it comes to handling problems and family issues as they have an inbuilt capacity and trait to handle and adjust themselves in any atmosphere and ambience after marriage, but this COVID period was equally tough to handle for them as well. Specifically, if we talk about housewives, the entire COVID period was difficult for them to handle because of multiple reasons which will be mentioned point by point.  \nKeywords: pandemic, housewives, anxiety, psychological, homemakers, women, depression, resilience, COVID  \n1. Introduction  \nThe title chosen for the chapter is deliberately explained in a very simple yet effective manner because as a part of the global community, now we all are aware of what the word PANDEMIC means. So, let us first try to understand the term“Pandemic” and then see the effects of the COVID pandemic on the society in general and then the housewives in particular.  \nPandemic. Pandemic defined by the dictionary as a disease that spreads over the whole world or a whole country. In the remarkable year 2019, the whole world found itself waking up to this brand-new pandemic – COVID.  \nCOVID-19 has been one of the most widespread diseases the world has ever witnessed in the past century. This pandemic stretched its arms wide across the world, people died in every corner, some even very untimely, but in addition to all  \n1   \nAnxiety, Uncertainty, and Resilience During the Pandemic Period-Anthropological...  \nthe visible destructions due to COVID, there were numerous invisible effects of this pandemic as well.  \nUsually, when we talk about the negative or destructive impact of such an event, we consider only economic losses, decline in GDP of the country, poverty etc. Although, these impacts are also heart-breaking and pathetic, but what we often forget to pay heed to isthe mental breakdown people have who suffer from such problems.  \nPeople commit suicides, relationships fail miserably, families break down and depressed minds and increased struggles snatch the mental peace bit by bit with each passing day. Now when we consider all these impacts which relate to the psychology of a person, we do not usually see it as a visible difference to the society overall, but if people who institute any society are not fit mentally, then what good can be extracted from such a societal sect?  \nThis is a question which is vital for all of us to understand but unfortunately, many of us fail to even comprehend this as a serious matter and people do not consider mental or psychological impacts as harmful as any other visible impact.  \nWhat people usually fail to understand is that if a person is mentally unfit or mentally in a bad state, then he or she will not be able to perform any task assigned to him efficiently. But generally, people do not promote mental health and fitness as much as they appreciate physical fitness.  \nPhysical fitness i","cbCaikHHPZu3zWPi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikHHPZu3zWPi","pdf",1458496,1,15,"English","en",105,"# 1.
