From eating at restaurants with her partner and relatives to attending a book club with friends, Susan Kemp's social life before Covid-19 was quite active.
But since April 2020, he has only left his apartment near Stockholm five times, feeling social anxiety and obsessive behavior related to germs.
"It looks like this added stress has gone too far, more than I can tolerate," said Kemp, a copywriter and part-time student in his thirties.
He became frightened when he took public transportation, was alert to the cleanliness of cutlery, and felt uncomfortable when he saw pictures of corona virus cells.
"The main symptom was I started crying. I felt like I was going to die, and then I cried until my body and lungs ached afterward," he said.
Coupled with this was the overwhelming feeling of disappointment that she was "going backwards" and the fear that it would take her years to get back on track when it came to managing her OCD.
Many people became a little more anxious during Covid-19. But Kemp's experience shows that for some, pandemics can trigger or worsen much more serious mental health problems.
Psychologists worry that this might last in the long term.
Steven Taylor, author of The Psychology of Pandemics, and professor of psychiatry at the University of British Columbia, argues that "for the poor 10 to 15% of the minority, life will not return to normal" because of the impact the pandemic has on their mental well-being.
Australia's Black Dog Institute, a leading independent mental health research organization, also voiced concern about "a large minority will be affected by long-term anxiety".
In Britain, a group of public health specialists warned in the British Medical Journal that "the impact of a pandemic on mental health is likely to outlast the effects of physical health."
