Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using Google Form, which the participants were requested to complete online. The questionnaire included sociodemographic information and general health questionnaire (GHQ)-12, which was used to screen for mental health. Results: A total of 343 participants took part in the study in which 113 participants (32.9%) were having GHQ score of less than or equal to 12.

Elderly people were more affected.
