Mahdi Hassannejad's research focuses on investigating the psychological impact of COVID-19 on vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly. A recent study conducted in Quchan, Iran examines the prevalence of anxiety related to COVID-19 among older adults during the pandemic. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to address geriatric anxiety and its associated factors. This research contributes to the growing body of evidence on mental health consequences of COVID-19, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where resources may be limited. The study's results underscore the importance of addressing psychological distress among older adults during public health crises.
