The book Mental, Emotional and Behavioural needs of Specific Populations following COVID-19 in India: Findings from Qualitative and Quantitative Studies reviews quantitative and qualitative research, conducted during and post-pandemic, on economic, social, psychological, and health factors across diverse, specific populations in India. It studies numerous psychological elements of COVID-19 in the context of recovery, handling, coping, and resilience and offers practical approaches for reproducing results and outcomes.

The book includes predictors of mental well-being across working professionals, adolescents, doctors, migrant women, merchants, and neurodiverse populations. Chapters focus on a wide range of themes including the mental health of doctors during COVID-19, issues of women’s violence and mental health problems by poor and migrant workers and distress levels of merchants before and after COVID-19. The book also throws light on sensitive and beneficial topics such as the rise of sextortion after Covid-19 and the strengthening of adolescents’ mental health through personal growth initiatives.

It is valuable reading for researchers, mental health practitioners, policymakers and educators to learn about the most recent developments, concerns, real-world difficulties encountered, and solutions taken in the mental health field following Covid-19, as well as offering implementable methods for replication.
