How To Protect Yourself & Others Online During COVID-19

 


The spread of COVID-19 has immensely increased the use of the internet, which has ultimately resulted in significant growth of cyberbullying, phishing attacks, conspiracy, and disinformation. Yet despite the risks, staying connected has almost never been more significant. So, how can you protect yourself as well as your loved ones from online threats? Well, it is what we are going to discuss in this article. So, stay tuned as we unfold the risks associated with using the internet and ways to tackle them.

The Advantage of Using the Internet

There are good reasons in abundance to use the internet amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. First of all, this is the best way to always be aware of all relevant and reliable sources of information and assistance. It also helps us in keeping our school and work going amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and allows us to maintain important social connections with our friends and family.

The Disadvantages of Using the Internet and How to Deal With Them

Cyber Bullying/Unwanted Contact

Since children are investing considerable time communicating through digital platforms, problems such as bullying are inevitable. Addressing online threats like bullying outside school premises and gaining support is a challenging task. Be sure to encourage younger family members to contact you directly when problems arise and help them solve them.

Scams and Online Fraud

Following the outbreak of COVID-19, the cybercrime branches in India have seen a dramatic increase in online fraud and fraud complaints. In the event that somebody asks you for data or money, be sure to go through all requests by email or telephone through the association's site and request a call back so you can check the source.

Final Words:

Since the spread of the COVID-19, we all have suffered both physically and mentally. While following COVID-19 protocol is crucial to keep our physical health well, staying in touch with our dear and near ones through digital platforms is equally important for our mental health. If your mental health has been a matter of concern lately, get in touch with a psychiatrist for the needed support.

Factors That Can Lead to Your Child's Eating Disorder

Image
  Eating disorders are not something new to us, but we fail to understand the reason behind the occurrence of eating disorders in the society. There are certain factors that can lead to eating disorders in the children. Some of those reasons as suggested by a psychiatrist doctor in Bhopal are: 1) Family structure: The family structure plays a major role in the occurrence of eating disorders in children. Most of the families are busy, and it is very difficult for them to provide their kids with a proper diet. Sometimes, they don’t even realize that their kid is not eating properly, and they don’t even realize that their child is having an eating disorder. 2) Stress: A lot of parents ignore their kids when they feel stressed or worried about their career or anything else.

The Importance of Self-Care for Mental Health: A Bhopal Psychiatrist's Perspective

Image
  Self-care is an essential aspect of maintaining good mental health. It refers to taking actions to care for one's own physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Bhopal Psychiatrist Dr. Sanjeet Diwan emphasizes the importance of self-care as a tool for coping with life's challenges and improving overall mental health. Self-care practices can vary from person to person and may include activities such as exercise, healthy eating, getting enough sleep, mindfulness meditation, yoga, or engaging in hobbies and social activities that bring joy and fulfillment. Dr. Diwan emphasizes that self-care is not selfish or indulgent, but a necessary component of mental health maintenance.
