Mental health in pandemic times
Keywords:
COVID-19, coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, pandemic, mental health.Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emergency of public health classified by the World Health Organization as pandemic, which has generated multiple deleterious symptoms in mental health at global scale, derived, partly, of the uncertainty about the quality and precision of the reports offered in this respect and, in great extent, for the impossibility of knowing when the world will return to normality. For such reasons, with this manuscript it is sought to reveal the importance of the population mental health during the pandemic, for which strategies of prevention and intervention are offered that contribute the challenges faced by individuals and that inevitably, in most of the cases, have been approached in an inadequate way.
