Analysis of aspects of the development of anxiety and depressive disorders in students of higher medical educational institutions after COVID-19

The study of anxiety and depressive disorders has not lost its relevance for many decades, and is even more relevant due to the possibility of their development after illnesses caused by new infectious agents. Currently, anxiety and depressive disorders can be attributed not only to general medical, but also to social problems. These disorders affect all aspects of the patient's life and disrupt his/her social adaptation. Anxiety and depression are the most common mental disorders with a high incidence and have become a major public health issue worldwide. The purpose of this work was to analyze the possibility of development of depression and anxiety in students of higher medical educational institutions who had the novel coronavirus infection. The results of the study confirmed the possible relationship between the development of anxiety and depressive disorders in students in higher medical schools during the year after the COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2.
