**9. India vs. global situation**

This pandemic not only impacted India, but its impact can be seen worldwide. In terms of mental health, the situation globally was also similar. Children, adults, and aged people were facing same type of problems. The pandemic impact can be seen both on developed and developing countries. Initially mortality rate was very high in both developed and developing countries. But due to high population and less resources, India faced more challenges during this situation. The medical facilities were also not as good in India as they are in other developed countries.
