Due to the increase in positive cases of COVID-19 on the Island, we remain on a state of isolation. Working and studying remotely, as well as avoiding trips outside the home, are some of the measures we must take to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, but this could have certain repercussions on mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is precisely this reality that led to holding the conference titled \u201cCabin Fever,\u201d which was part of \u201cThe impact of COVID-19 in our lives,\u201d the cycle of workshops organized by Sagrado<\/a>\u2019s Centro Sof\u00eda<\/a> for the benefit of the entire university community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the discussion, Ashley M. Rodr\u00edguez Delgado, a doctoral student in Psychology at the Ponce Health Sciences University, explained that cabin fever occurs when a person becomes afraid to go out after being in confinement, so he\/she decides not to.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Rodr\u00edguez Delgado, this can cause people to show feelings of insecurity every time they have to go somewhere. In addition, disorders such as hypochondria, anxiety, depression, among others, could arise.<\/strong> It makes people associate the street with danger and perceive our house as a safe place, since the brain has gotten used to the safety of home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, Rodr\u00edguez Delgado shared her personal experience. \u201cI was about to crash my car twice in one day because I could not concentrate on the road, it was giving me anxiety,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expert explained that this happens more frequently in people who live alone or have little social interaction during this period of isolation. <\/strong>She also said that it is considered a natural reaction of adaptation to a new normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnyone is vulnerable to suffering from cabin fever at any time.\u201d<\/p>Ashley M. Rodr\u00edguez Delgado

However, there are several solutions to manage cabin fever, which include: choosing situations and people that provide tranquility, avoiding conflictive scenarios, designing a daily routine, not using drugs, and seeking psychological help through telemedicine.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
