Abstract

This paper describes that after the global outbreak of COVID-19, many infected people appeared. Then countries developed emergency preventive measures, but most of the steps were achieved by restricting people's travel and disturbing the regular order of life. The long-term blockade will lead to adverse psychological symptoms (stress, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc.). According to the World Health Organization statistics, in the first year of COVID-19, the global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by 25%. A questionnaire was distributed to 100 participants in this study. The results showed that most people would face up to their bad psychological symptoms and seek the help of a psychologist or solve them by themselves. Online psychotherapy has become a new psychological intervention method with high acceptance. We try to understand the current mental health status of users by issuing questionnaires on popular social media platforms, using different intervention methods for users with other mental health statuses, and sending push notifications of various contents.
