Resumen
COVID-19 tiene un impacto en la salud mental, aumentando los riesgos de demencia, ansiedad y depresión. Las personas mayores se enfrentan a mayores riesgos de demencia, mientras que los adultos más jóvenes muestran más ansiedad y depresión después de la pandemia.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Neurología
- La psiquiatría
- Salud pública
Sus antecedentes:
- Las enfermedades neurológicas como la demencia, la ansiedad y la depresión pueden afectar las funciones cognitivas como la memoria, el aprendizaje, el lenguaje y la toma de decisiones.
- La pandemia de COVID-19 se ha relacionado con el aumento de los riesgos de estas afecciones neurológicas y de salud mental.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar la relación entre los factores demográficos y la prevalencia de demencia, ansiedad y depresión en las personas que se recuperan de COVID-19.
- Comprender el impacto diferencial de COVID-19 en la salud mental en varios grupos de edad.
Principales métodos:
- Aprobación ética obtenida de los comités institucionales pertinentes.
- Consentimiento informado obtenido de todos los participantes.
- Los datos recopilados a través de cuestionarios administrados a pacientes que se recuperan de COVID-19, que se adhieren a los criterios de inclusión / exclusión.
Principales resultados:
- La pandemia de COVID-19 ha llevado a un aumento de la demencia, la ansiedad y la depresión.
- Las personas mayores son más susceptibles a la demencia debido al COVID-19, probablemente debido a condiciones preexistentes y a los efectos neurológicos del virus.
- Los adultos jóvenes han mostrado mayores tasas de ansiedad y depresión, potencialmente relacionadas con el aislamiento social, la inestabilidad económica y las interrupciones de la vida.
Conclusiones:
- El COVID-19 tiene consecuencias para la salud mental específicas de la edad.
- Los adultos mayores tienen un mayor riesgo de demencia y ansiedad después de la COVID-19.
- Las personas más jóvenes muestran una mayor prevalencia de depresión después de la pandemia, lo que requiere intervenciones específicas.

Stress triggers physiological responses that elevate blood...
