an attempt to explore psychological distress among people residing in India during
the lockdown. Four hundred and three participants were asked to complete a
questionnaire with questions around symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and

to sustain the lockdown were most affected, and family affluence was found to be
negatively correlated with stress, anxiety, and depression.
