Abstract--- Background: People's mental health has been impacted by
the novel corona virus COVID 19. According to studies, a significant
percentage of people who have recovered from the infection have
mental health problems. The research was carried out on people who
had recovered from COVID 19 in the previous year. Participants were
contacted a month after being discharged from the hospital and
encouraged to complete a questionnaire that included the DASS and
IES scales. Anxiety, depression, stress, and post-traumatic stress
disorder were all examined in the results (PTSD). Those with scores
that indicated severe levels were encouraged to see a psychiatrist for
proper treatment and therapy. The results of the DASS revealed that
2.5 percent of the participants had scores indicative of severe stress,
25.3 percent had scores indicative of severe anxiety, and 7.3 percent
had scores indicative of severe depression. According to the results of
the IES, 15.1 percent of the participants said the event had a
significant impact on their mental health, and 17.2 percent of the
participants had scores that indicated the presence of post-traumatic
stress disorder symptoms. There is a strong link between IES scores
