Abstract

Human health is composed of both mental, physical, and social health. Thus, health and wellbeing are measured by the status of these three categories of health. Of the three forms of health, mental health is often neglected and may not receive as much attention as physical and social health. Despite being neglected, mental health plays a major role in both physical and social health. Mental illness has often resulted in discrimination and exclusion of those affected; seriously affecting their social interaction and connectivity. Many suffering from mental disorders tend to withdraw from society further affecting their social health.

Uncertainties brought about by infectious disease outbreaks can trigger distress within a population. Thus management of infectious disease outbreaks should include a mental health component for the affected populations. Pandemics and severe disease outbreaks such as COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, Ebola and other acute but severe disease outbreaks are a trigger for mental health disorders in LMIC. As such culturally appropriate strategies should be set aside to manage mental health issues that come with disease outbreaks of such magnitude.
