Read More Teachers in America returned to work in September 2020 to a climate of fear and uncertainty due to the country’s first-ever government lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, teachers around the world have been building up psychological symptoms due to various factors which have accompanied the pandemic, these factors have resulted in a significant amount of stress, depression, and anxiety, among the other factors in teachers and this study is done to determine that how these factors affect teachers especially after the pandemic. They had to use online teaching throughout the lockdown, and now that schools are reopening, they have exhibited a lot of anxiety about the new and the unprecedented teaching environment. According to the findings of the study, females had the highest stress response with a mean of 7.11 and a standard deviation of 4.414, while males had lower stress level with a mean of 4.99 and a standard deviation of 2.32. The results of t-test also revealed that there was a significant stress in teachers at 5 percent level of significance (p-value = 0.000, df = 1549, and t-test= 2.28). On work stability, many respondents chose NO with a mean of 8.79 and a standard deviation of 5.309 implying that after Covid-19, the work stability of teachers had been affected and adapting to the new normal was difficult and had not only for students, but also for the teachers. Anxiety was another variable that was taken into consideration in this study and further, females had the highest response with a mean of 7.01 and a standard deviation of 4.53, on the other hand, males had a lower response of 4.53, the study proved the significance of the test that teachers are affected by anxiety during this period at 5% level of significance and p-value of 2.28. Finally, depression as a variable was further determined to be significance (p-value = 0.000, df = 1549, and t-test = 2.28) by the study. Therefore, the study concluded that, having school-aged children, being a victim of Covid-19 or having a relative affected by the virus increases stress, depression, and anxiety levels in teachers especially in female teachers. Teachers who have children are more likely to be stressed out because they have to cope with a hefty workload and at the same time, the burden of caring for their families. These professionals had to deal with the twin whammy of returning to school for themselves and for their children. Family life may have contributed to the elevated anxiety levels during the pandemic, as raising a family during crisis times can include the additional challenges, such as managing finances, child care, and home education obligations.

Read More Background: In comparison to the general adult female population, women afflicted by schizophrenia exhibit higher rates of unintended and undesired pregnancies. Maternal individuals grappling with severe mental health challenges face an increased susceptibility to postpartum psychosis, depression, and anxiety stemming from the presence of a child. Psychotic conditions often lead to the rejection of pregnancy, subsequently impinging upon maternal parenting capabilities. The predominant source of support for women with schizophrenia emanates from their familial networks.Case illustration: This paper presents the case of a 41-year-old adult female diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia that was 40 weeks pregnant and admitted for medical care. The patient received treatment for restlessness and speech slurring. Comprehensive evaluations were conducted by healthcare professionals from the obstetrics and gynecology as well as psychiatry departments, leading to a decision to proceed with a cesarean section to terminate the pregnancy.Methods: Patients receive medical interventions and psychological assistance to stabilize their mental health conditions and avert relapses. Supportive psychotherapy and family psychoeducation, coupled with a collaborative approach involving discussions with obstetrician colleagues regarding childcare plans and supplementary psychiatric treatment, are implemented to enhance maternal well-being while attending to infant care.Conclusion: The obstetric team extensively deliberated the advantages and disadvantages of terminating the pregnancy, considering the provision of sustained care for both the patient and her unborn child. Given that the pregnancy termination was facilitated via cesarean section due to the patient's mental health concerns and the potential adverse effects of antipsychotic medication, the patient's family plays a pivotal role in providing assistance for infant care. Consequently, breastfeeding is contraindicated concerning the patient's mental health status and the potential consequences of antipsychotic treatment.
