Background:The coronavirus spread across the world has created an unprecedented hazard to mental health globally. Objectives: To measure the influence of corona virus pandemic on mental health status among middle-aged and elderly Individuals and also find the correlation between Perceived stress level and Generalised anxiety disorder level between them. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey-based study design in which total 100 subjects were taken for the study in which 50 were middle aged and 50 were elderly. Measurement of Perceived stress level and Generalised anxiety disorder level were taken of all the subjects by using Perceived stress scale (PSS-10) and Generalised anxiety disorder scale (GAD-7). All the data were recorded. Result: There is a strong positive correlation between Perceived stress level and Generalised anxiety disorder level. In both the groups, the result was found significant (p = 0.0001). The result also shows the mean score of Perceived stress scale is more in Group A middle-aged individuals than in group B elderly individuals. The mean score of Generalised anxiety disorder scale is more in middle aged than in elderly individuals. The mean score for Perceived stress level lies in the range of high Perceived stress in middle-aged individuals, and for elderly individuals, it lies in the range of moderate stress. The mean score for Generalised anxiety disorder level lies in the range of moderate anxiety, and for elderly individuals, it lies in the range of mild to moderate anxiety. Hence, it shows that there is high stress level in middle-aged individuals as compared to elderly individuals. And it also shows that there is high anxiety disorder level in middle-aged individuals as compared to elderly individuals. There is strong correlation between Perceived stress level and Generalised anxiety disorder level. Karl Pearson was used to find the correlation. Hence, there is strong positive linear correlation between Perceived stress level and Generalised anxiety disorder level in Group A middle-aged individuals and Group B elderly individuals. Conclusion: Based on the results obtained from present study, it is concluded that there is high impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health status among middle-aged and elderly individuals.
