Meaning‑making towards positive well‑bei

Fides A. del Castillo

Abstract


To the Editor, In a recent article published in this journal, it was noted that the pandemic has caused stress and illness among people.[1] The global health crisis has continued to facilitate even more suffering, leading to greater inequalities between the rich and the poor. Aware of the detrimental effects of stress caused by COVID‑19, this paper proposes ways through which the most vulnerable societies can cope with stress and maintain their well‑being to avoid further accumulating illnesses.
