Understanding Emotional Health Sustainability Amidst COVID-19 Imposed Lockdown

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sustainability Measures for COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Considering the COVID-19 outbreak, comprehending the psychological state is a major concern across the world. Sentiments and their emotions can be accessed via diverse social media platforms. Most prominently, Twitter plays a vital role in understanding the emotions of netizens, regardless of their origin. In this chapter, we study emotional health during the lockdown phases, taking India as a case study. Varied emotions over time derive their possible existence from the reported, deceased, and recovered cases, or a number of unanticipated situations. This study’s empirical findings are based upon eight emotions: Anger, Anticipation, Disgust, Fear, Joy, Sadness, Surprise, and Trust. We also describe how every lockdown impacted the emotions among people in worst hit Indian states towards COVID-19 cases by analyzing how a particular lockdown comes to be associated with distress and relief. For better understanding, we developed an automated tool to pictorially represent emotions, URL: https://emotiontrackerindia.herokuapp.com/. Understanding the emotional and mental health of the masses makes the nations proactive and future-ready. Adoption of suitable sustainability measures at the right time mitigates such crisis-like situations. This chapter puts forth an emotion analysis mechanism using social media and recommendations for upcoming emergencies.
