This Lockdown was a new experience for many and hence it affected the mental health of a lot of individuals. This paper tries to study the effect of lockdown on mental health on the people on Mumbai Metropolitan Area. The survey was conducted 3 months after being in extreme lockdown. The PHQ-9 questionnaire is used to measure the depression level of individuals.
