Abstract

The complex mental terrain encountered by COVID-19 reverse migrants confronted with financial uncertainty is explored in this paper. People are facing a dilemma of economic uncertainty when they return to their hometowns after the outbreak. Deconstructing the intricacies of these refugees' emotional journey, the study delves into the many ways in which this crisis has affected their mental health.

Interviews and questionnaires make up the study's mixed methodology, which aims to capture the complex experiences of people dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic and financial hardship at the same time. The results show that reverse migrants have severe mental health issues, such as increased worry and stress as well as displacement and confusion. The study also delves into the ways people deal with this challenging environment, revealing characteristics that contribute to resilience and adaptive tactics.

Community resources and social support systems are also explored as potential means of reducing the emotional burden of financial instability. The complex association between socioeconomic difficulties and psychological health during the COVID-19 epidemic is better understood because to this study, which analyses the interaction between economic variables and mental health.

We hope that policymakers, mental health professionals, and communities will find this investigation of COVID-19 reverse migrants' mental terrain to be an invaluable resource for meeting the specific psychological needs of this at-risk population through the development of more targeted interventions and support systems.
