“…A large body of evidence suggests that there is a mixed but significant increase in mental health problems among general population [36][37][38][39][40], but also among other specific populations, such as patients with preexisting chronic health conditions [41][42][43], patients with preexisting severe mental disorders [44][45][46][47], and alcohol addicts [48][49][50]. Also, an increased prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms was noted in the population of health-care workers during the pandemic [51], with psychological distress and insomnia [52], as well as physical and mental exhaustion and burnout [53][54][55][56].…”

Beginning with its emergence in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a pandemic that causes COVID-19, has spread and left profound consequences on the lives and health of people around the world. Although most patients who have COVID-19 recover after two to six weeks, research shows that 10–30% of people who have had COVID-19, even with a mild clinical picture, remain with persistent symptoms that have a devastating effect on their quality of life. These symptoms, which most often include fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, headache, and cognitive dysfunction, but also others that generally have an impact on everyday functioning, are recognized as a clinical condition called post-COVID syndrome (long COVID). In addition to physical disabilities in people recovering from COVID-19, mental health problems have also been observed, including problems with concentration (“brain fog”), anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In this chapter, we provide a comprehensive review of the current scientific findings identifying post-COVID conditions and their relationship with mental health status.

“…Vulnerable populations are known to be affected by pandemic-induced mental impacts to a greater extent than general populations [64]. The pandemic could exacerbate health disparities and increase susceptibility to stress among vulnerable groups [65], which could eventually make them suffer from more depression, anxiety, distress, and post-traumatic stress [39,42,43,47,48,61,66]. Understanding the psychological impact of COVID-19 on different populations would provide clinical implications for the identification of highrisk groups and designing interventions, as well as policies for better mental health care systems, which is of critical importance in the context of public health at a global level.…”

Vulnerable populations may be more vulnerable to mental health problems posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A systematic review was performed to compare the mental health impact of COVID-19 between vulnerable and non-vulnerable groups. Five electronic databases were searched for observational studies reporting the psychological outcomes of both vulnerable populations and healthy controls during the COVID-19 era. The primary outcomes are the severity of depression and anxiety, and secondary outcomes include other aspects of mental health such as stress or sleep disturbance. Meta-analysis was performed for the severity of mental health symptoms, and the results were presented as standardized mean difference and 95% confidence intervals. A total of 25 studies were included. According to the findings, the elderly generally experienced significantly lower levels of psychological symptoms including depression, anxiety, and perceived stress. Pregnant women, patients with chronic diseases, and patients with pre-existing severe mental disorders showed mixed results according to each mental health outcome. The results indicate that vulnerable groups have been affected differently in the COVID-19 era. Though the insufficient number and heterogeneity of included studies leave the results inconclusive, our findings may contribute to identifying priorities of mental health needs among various vulnerable populations and allocating health resources with efficiency.
