This article is devoted to studying the negative impact of the infodemic on the human psyche during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has significantly affected not only physical health but also social and mental well-being. The infodemic – that is, the rapid spread of false information, conspiracy theories, and rumours – has intensified symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. The article analyses the psychological consequences of the COVID-19 infodemic and offers recommendations aimed at mitigating this problem.
