The recent pandemic has highlighted the need to understand how we resist infections and their causes, which may differ from the ways we often think about treating epidemic diseases. The current study presents an improved version of the susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) epidemic model, to better comprehend the community's overall dynamics of diseases, involving numerous infectious agents. The model deals with a non-monotone incidence rate that exhibits psychological or inhibitory influence and a saturation treatment rate.

Through our analytical efforts, we establish a significant reproduction number that holds a pivotal role in determining disease extinction or persistence within the system. A noteworthy threshold value for this reproduction number delineates a boundary below which the infected population cannot endure in the system.

We have studied the behavior of different equilibrium points with the memory effect. The proposed system undergoes through Hopf bifurcation with respect to the memory parameter as the bifurcation parameter.

We also focus on the effects of seasonal forcing by letting some of the model parameters to vary with time. We rigorously analyze the autonomous and nonautonomous models mathematically as well as numerically.
