Abstract

Introduction: The year 2019 will be remembered in the human history by the mark of an unknown diseases plaguing the whole world with its devastation, namely coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This pandemic caused by a novel strain of RNA virus has caused a catastrophic health outcome for millions of world citizens but in many cases only the physical aspect of the disease came under consideration. Materials & Methods: This review is based on ample literature search of Medline, the Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews, and citation lists of relevant publications. Discussion: COVID-19 pandemic has caused a variety of health problems including mental health issues. Initial panic about the completely unknown (Novel) virus plaguing the world was soon joined by an array of mental health problems like anxiety, depression, combined anxiety and depression, traumatic stress etc. Amidst the chaos of unpredictability, mortality, overstretched health facilities etc. we often downplay the importance of paying attention to the mental side of the disease spectrum. As a result, outcomes like child abuse, domestic violence and suicide can increase. Conclusion: It is of utmost importance to educate mass people about the coping strategies to go through this hard time, to ensure proper news sharing, to screen people who are at risk of developing mental health problems and to provide support to those who are in need. Local and International consensus guideline should be planned to deal with this issue. Medicine Today 2021 Vol.33(2): 169-171
Covid-19大流行对心理健康的影响
导读:2019年将被人类历史铭记,因为一种未知的疾病给全世界带来了毁灭性的困扰,这就是2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)。这种由一种新型RNA病毒株引起的大流行病给数百万世界公民造成了灾难性的健康后果,但在许多情况下,只考虑了这种疾病的身体方面。材料与方法:本综述基于Medline、Cochrane系统综述数据库的大量文献检索,以及相关出版物的引文列表。讨论:COVID-19大流行造成了包括心理健康问题在内的各种健康问题。一开始,人们对这种完全未知的(新型)病毒感到恐慌,很快就出现了一系列心理健康问题,如焦虑、抑郁、焦虑和抑郁相结合、创伤性压力等。在不可预测性、死亡率、卫生设施过度紧张等混乱中,我们往往低估了关注疾病谱系精神方面的重要性。因此,虐待儿童、家庭暴力和自杀等后果可能会增加。结论:教育大众如何应对这一困难时期,确保适当的新闻分享,筛选有发展心理健康问题风险的人,并为有需要的人提供支持是至关重要的。应规划地方和国际协商一致的准则来处理这一问题。医学今日2021卷33(2):169-171
