Abstract:
Coronavirus-19 erupted in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, rapidly spreading globally until it was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. With no known treatment in place, the world could only respond with symptom management and public health measures to contain the spread of the lethal virus. In its wake, both the pandemic and the interventions have left a significant negative impact on the mental health of the population that may rise to its own level of epidemic. Exploration and recognition of the various factors involved in creating this impact can assist in identifying both strengths and areas in need of more formal intervention. Treatment modalities range from resiliency techniques to trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy to pharmacotherapy. Assessment and monitoring over time for lasting sequelae will be important for all healthcare disciplines.
