    In an interview with the Oman News Agency, Dr. Hamad bin Nasser Al-Senawi, a senior consultant in the behavioral medicine department at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, said: The research study carried out by doctors from the Ministry of Health concluded that the medical staff working on the front lines is one of the groups most exposed to psychological pressures.

    And that the high number of people infected with the virus led to the emergence of cases of frustration and psychological burnout.

    Through systematic studies from the research published on the mental health of the general public during the Corona pandemic, Dr. Badr bin Ali Al Habsi, a consultant physician and director of Al Masarah Hospital, indicates that the incidence of PTSD and sleep disorders has increased significantly.
