After over three months of being in the crosshairs of the Covid-19 pandemic, the crisis has become a definite test for one's mental health. Treating COVID-19 patients at proximity, watching the disease claim the lives of people - it only takes a second of thought to realise how much doctors around the globe have put their own life in jeopardy and how the situation can take a toll on their mental health. However, to understand more about how the doctors are coping with the situation in detail, ANI spoke to a few health care professionals who like many other experts are on working relentlessly to save people's life amid the pandemic.

Apart from seeking help from family and friends, Dr Gauri Aggarwal, Infertility and IVF Specialist, Founder of Seeds of Innocence and Genestrings Lab, ensures that she takes "small breaks in between and a stroll inside the corridor of the hospital" to unwind, while taking care to adhere to all public health protocols. "Moreover, we have a highly motivated team. That is the one thing that makes these tough times enjoyable," Dr Aggarwal added. COVID-19 has revealed situations that are unforeseen and unusual, even for doctors. Such exposure to new, yet vulnerable condition, that calls for a constant need to be aware of the latest medical advances and medical procedures are certainly adding to doctors' mental pressure.
