So the quarantine is graded through 5 psychological levels ... How can you best cross it?

Like mourning, quarantine is subject to evolutionary stages, starting from panic to non-resistance, to bypassing negative emotions that say a person cannot go, walk or go out on a picnic, but that his movement is limited to shopping to bring food, visit a doctor and practice some professions, to end with habituation and acceptance .

And the world is closing more and more as new cities and capitals on all continents join the quarantine of home. Moscow and Lagos on Monday 30 March joined more than three billion people in the world staying in their homes, hoping to limit the spread of the new Corona virus.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has ordered total isolation, and those who do not respect the procedures face a penalty of up to five years' imprisonment.

Moscow residents - 12.5 million are allowed to leave their homes only to go to work if necessary, for medical emergencies, for foodstuffs and for the pharmacy, and they can also go out to throw garbage, or a dog outing within a hundred meters of their housing.

In Italy, the government has warned citizens that they will have to prepare for a "very long" period of total isolation that will be gradually increased, despite its economic repercussions. "We are fighting a very long battle; we save people's lives by our behavior," said government health adviser Luca Richildi.

In an article in the Swiss newspaper Lutan, his writer Marie-Pierre Genikan said that the quarantine in the time of Corona (Covid-19) is the rule, and people should make the most of it, and in this regard I mentioned two opinions of an economist and a psychologist.

The blogger said blogger Sina Farzana, CEO of Paul Bath, who last February underwent two health quarantines, one in Shanghai on arrival, and the other in San Francisco on his return, recommended following the five-stage model for mourning, and he proposes "five stages for the stone", In it the person develops a somewhat positive view of the stone.

Forget the news

The first stage for Sina Farzana is called the "stay period", which is the shock stage, where the person at the beginning of the quarantine feels panic, sleeps poorly, under pressure, and follows the news first-hand, and considers that this is not good, and it is better to forget the news a little, and focus on The precious time this confinement saves.

And Farzana believes that such a situation allows the quarantine to enter the second stage called "safety", where "he reduces his defenses, starts arranging his affairs, and feels the importance of the long time."

In this second stage, Farzana is advised to "leave WhatsApp groups and practice some hobbies" such as drawing, cooking and weaving.

As for the third stage, called the “affiliation” stage, life returns to normal, the person becomes professional and distributes his time between work and family.

At this point, Farzana is advised to use an agenda that clearly separates family and professional activities and the heavy void that must be avoided.

The fourth step, which Farzana calls the "importance" stage, should be alert to new ideas that were born during the turmoil, and "it is expected that the person will have developed various relationships with his family and colleagues."

The blogger concludes with the stage of "self-modernization", when the blocked stone appears at the end of the tunnel, and the advice for it is to return to normal life, while enriching it with the changes that took place in the time of the stone, and supporting it with the speed of adaptation it showed.

Overnight

The psychologist Laurent Byron agrees with Farzana that confusion dominates the person initially quarantined, to make it clear - in his own way - that he is going through five stages: The first is the period of what he calls "panic", which is complicated because the quarantine is forced quickly to "dismantle his usual lifestyle without building methods New and verified. "

He warns that "closing schools was not gradual, but overnight, and everyone had to face the brutality of reality", and there is also concern regarding the collective aspect of this decision.

Peron advises, like Farzana, to limit listening to the news, to avoid the anxiety caused by the increase or lack of information, and calls on the detainees to accept their frustrations and share them instead of the rebellion.

Vacuum is a concern

In the second stage called "adaptation", everyone tries to try new procedures, where a teenager needs to get used to studying via video, while parents try to work effectively and additionally towards caring for their children. "If you look at social networks, you find that the issue that matters most to people is not working as much as leisure," says Byron.

The psychiatrist advises to give up any temptation to tolerate the ban, "as it is a public safety issue and it is possible to exercise at home", and that "there are dozens of publications on how to spend time and distract yourself at home."

The doctor warned that the third stage, which is called "survival", will be difficult, and will start within about a month, and it requires maintaining this restrictive system with the fatigue it brings due to the length of time, and it will be important for parents to remain creative to distract children , And at the same time they are persistent in applying the rules in force.

The fourth stage - according to the psychiatrist in Geneva - is the stage of "acceptance", which is a somewhat happy moment when the interdict unraveled the changes ", at which time the reconciliation between inside and outside will be reconciled, and the balance between leisure and work, family and friendly relations will be enhanced.

Tips
For her part, Dr. Iris Haute said that the current crisis of the Corona epidemic is overshadowing mental health, as the torrential news of deaths and victims around the world negatively affects the psychological state, leads to mood disorders, and raises the risk of depression.
