Public health interventions related to COVID-19, including quarantines and lock-downs, can have a detrimental effect on people’s mental health status through environmental change, disruption of services, self, social isolation, financial uncertainty, and work loss enhanced stress. The purpose of the study was to investigate the gender differences of mental health (perceived stress, anxiety, and depression) and explored associated factors during the COVID-19 epidemic among peoples living in Alappuzha, Pathanamthitta, and Kollam district.
