Abstract

Our survey explores the changing trends in social interaction and its effects on mental health amongst GCSE and A-level students during lockdown as it is the crucial years of education, shaping their future. This survey was carried out using Google forms. Results have been auto analysed with anonymity. A clear demonstration of anxiety, fear of failure, lack of motivation and loneliness has been noted. Emphasis on the importance of face-to-face interaction and the usage of digital platforms has been evident. Incorporation of mental health professionals in the educational system is vital in moving forward.
