Mental Health Professionals As ‘Silent Frontline Healthcare Workers’: Perspectives from Three South Asian Countries Sheikh Shoib 1 , Anoop Krishna Guppta 2 , Waleed Ahmad 3 , Shijo John Joseph 4 , Samrat Singh Bhandari 4 Abstract Mental health professionals across the globe foresaw the mental health impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
