- Abstract
Introduction: On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was characterized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic linked to several psychological disorders, related to impotence, fear, panic and mainly the lack of political organization and leadership. Methods: The proposal of this article will be, based on the current literature, update and produce provocative discussions about the current pandemic context. To this end, it was carried out a search in the main databases Lilacs, Bireme and Pubmed in English and Portuguese from articles of the current year. The choice was made at random, obviously, following a line of reflection. The keywords searched were: COVID- 19, mental health, pandemic, SARS-COVID-19, Brazil. Discussion: Besides the harm to physical integrity, COVID-19 also brings disastrous damage to the mental health of the population. Social isolation is the main measure used to date to delay the spread of COVID-19. However, this is a problem related to the exacerbation of pre-existing psychiatric disorders and the development of new conditions, mainly of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress (all related to the increased risk of suicide), in addition to the increase in cases of domestic violence. Conclusion: The previous control and prevention of COVID-19 behaves as a protective factor or "retardation" against psychological problems of varying degrees. Studies have shown that investing in health education in order to optimize the knowledge of the population, about COVID-19, helps in the management of "optimistic" behaviors.
