Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on global health, and its effects on mental health, especially among migrant workers, have emerged as a significant concern. This paper investigates the post-COVID mental health issues and somatization among Indian labourers working abroad. It explores the prevalence of mental health disorders, the relationship between COVID-19 and somatization, and the implications for this vulnerable group. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the psychological challenges faced by these workers.
