PANDEMIC REFLECTION: ASSOCIATION OF MENTAL HEALTH WITH INFECTION BY SARS-COV-2
The world is currently facing the pandemic COVID-19
with
a
coronavirus,
SARS-CoV-2,
causing strong physical and psychological pressure in the medical and multi-professional staff. The pandemic had several impacts on the mental health of the population, contributing to the
emotional
imbalance,
insecurity,
and
conditions for the anxiety disorder due to the concerns witnessed (RUBIN and WESSELY, 2020). The fear of becoming newly infected has led to psychological trauma, as well as the spread of the media, intensifying hopeless news about the number
of
deaths,
unavailable
beds,
and
overcrowding in hospitals. (RUBIN and WESSELY, 2020). Psychological and physical vulnerability indicators have shown that anxiety persists in the post-confinement period, such as posttraumatic stress conditions.
