"More than 59 per cent of the population said they had little pleasure in doing things these days, out of which 38 per cent have this feeling on a few days and 9 per cent feel so more than half of the days. Nearly 12 per cent felt this way almost every day in these times," according to the study. It pointed out that more than 57 per cent of the respondents complained of feeling tired or having little energy through "at least some days in the last few weeks". "At least more than 15 per cent have this feeling more than half of the days. This leads to some people sleeping too much while some others have trouble sleeping,' the study said.

"With the change in lifestyle, approximately half of the population is having trouble with their sleep," the study further said. "At least 7 per cent of the population goes through this nearly every day while 33 per cent experience it on a few days," it added. Feeling hopeless, on the other hand, was not so common among the respondents. Only 10 per cent of them said they felt "down and depressed" more than half of the days or nearly every day.

The study suggested that adding exercising to one's daily routine could help improve their mental health. "Exercising can lead to endorphins (the happy hormone) which can help with depression. The more depressed you are, the more likely you are to not workout. "But, it is important to cajole yourself into doing more things that make you feel happier," it suggested.
