Countrywide vaccination drives help reduce anxiety in Indians, survey finds

While for some people the pandemic triggered an anxiety that they had never experienced before, for others, it exacerbated a pre-existing condition, making it difficult to function in the absence of ‘normalcy’.

According to Deloitte’s Global Consumer Tracker survey, Indian consumers may be displaying signs of reduced anxiety as nationwide vaccination coverage increases. The survey indicates a 6 per cent decline in th...

It’s time to talk about survivor’s guilt

Written by Corinne Purtill For many Americans, the post-vaccine transition to activities paused during the pandemic has brought a sense of joy and relief, even as they keep wary eyes on reports of rising case counts and the spread of the delta variant. But this new phase of the pandemic for many people has also unleashed uncomfortable and unexpected feelings of survivor’s guilt.

It’s common after natural disasters or mass tragedies, even when the survivor isn’t directly responsible for the event i...
