Dr. Priyanka Sehrawat, a neurologist and general physician based in Gurugram, Haryana, has raised concerns about the negative health impacts associated with the work-from-home culture, particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. She reports an increase in medical conditions such as migraines, headaches, sleep issues, and neck pain among individuals working remotely. Dr. Sehrawat points out that while work-from-home arrangements may seem beneficial, they often lead to distractions that prevent individuals from fully focusing on either their work or home responsibilities. This is especially true for new mothers, who may find remote work appealing as it allows them to care for their infants while maintaining their careers. However, she warns that this multitasking can lead to neglect of their health. To counteract these issues, Dr. Sehrawat emphasizes the need for family members to support new mothers by taking on childcare responsibilities and encouraging self-care practices. She advocates for a collective effort to prioritize health, stating, “you need to start taking care of your health a lot more.”
