“…This study contributes to the knowledge given that the present study results show the emotional impact of a pandemic and the importance of social capital in coping with associated mitigation measures in a sample of Colombian people 34 . Likewise, it is an approach to understanding the interaction of psychological and social processes that can condition groups' well-being during pandemic periods [35][36][37][38] .…”

El riesgo depresivo mayor es un problema de salud pública. Objetivo: Conocer la prevalencia y algunas variables asociadas a riesgo de episodio depresivo mayor (REDM) en adultos colombianos. Materiales y Método: Se realizó un estudio analítico transversal mediante un cuestionario en línea que exploró variables demográficas, REDM (Índice de Bienestar General, WHO-5) y capital social (cinco ítems). Respondieron 700 adultos entre 18 a 76 años (M=37,1; DE=12,7), 32,1% en edades entre 18 y 28 años y 68% fueron mujeres. Resultados: el 24,0% de los participantes puntuaron para bajo capital social y 61,1% se categorizaron como REDM. El género femenino (OR=1,58; IC95% 1,12-2,22), edad joven (18-29 años, OR=3,82; IC95% 2,56-5,72) y bajo capital social (OR=2,05; IC95% 1,37-3,07) se asociaron a REDM. Conclusión: La prevalencia de REDM fue alta y se asoció a género femenino, edad joven (18 a 28 años) y bajo capital social. Es necesario corroborar estos hallazgos en una muestra probabilística de colombianos y cuantificar con más frecuencia el capital social en las investigaciones.

“…Pandemics are often influential towards people's behavior in the community and create fear and anxiety [20][21][22]. Irrational decisions and poor treatment outcomes are certain side effects of mental stress, fear and anxiety, faced by healthcare professionals and dentists [23,24].…”

Objective: To establish the validity of COVID-19 Peritraumatic Distress Index (CPDI) questionnaire and assess the stress with its associated factors during COVID-19 among dental professionals in Bhubaneswar, India. Material and Methods: An online survey through Google Forms was steered among 234 dentists. CPDI questionnaire was used for data collection post its validation assessment. Content validity was judged satisfactory by two psychiatrists, and excellent internal consistency was found (Cronbach's alpha = 0.92). For statistical analysis, chi-square and binomial logistic regression tests were used with a significance level of p≤0.05. Results: 70 (29.9%) were males and 164 (70.1%) were females with a mean age of 30.58 ± 6.70 years. Around 50% had an MDS degree and were attached to an institution and nearly 80% were having experience of less than 10 years. The mean CPDI score was found to be 29.09 ± 15.47. A statistically significant association was observed between CPDI scores with age (p<0.003), gender (p<0.03), practice (p<0.06) and education (p<0.006). Binomial logistic regression revealed that odds of stress were 2 times higher among males than females (OR=2.01, p<0.04), which was statistically significant. Conclusion: Acceptable validation scores confirmed CPDI as an effective instrument for detecting stress. Importance of early interventions to combat the issue of stress among dental professionals as it is allied with negative consequences on health and furthermore affects daily activities is highlighted.

“…113 Clinicians should also consider evidencebased telehealth psychotherapeutic and psychoeducation interventions due to their efficacy and feasibility. 114,115 In an editorial, da Silva et al 95,116 identified some mental health topics worthy of attention, including inadequate access to health services, especially in developing countries. A recent retrospective cohort study by Williams et al 117 showed that between March 1 and May 31, 2020, the first diagnosis of psychiatric problems was 50% lower than expected based on previous years, which suggests considerable underdiagnosis.…”

Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has been declared a public health emergency of international interest, with confirmed cases in most countries. COVID-19 presents manifestations that can range from asymptomatic or mild infections up to severe manifestations that lead to hospitalization and death. A growing amount of evidence indicates that the virus may cause neuroinvasion. Postmortem brain study findings have included edema, hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, atrophy, encephalitis, infarcts, swollen axons, myelin loss, gliosis, neuronal satellitosis, hypoxic-ischemic damage, arteriolosclerosis, leptomeningeal inflammation, neuronal loss, and axon degeneration. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic is causing dangerous effects on the mental health of the world population, some of which can be attributed to its social impact (social distancing, financial issues, and quarantine). There is also a concern that environmental stressors, enhanced by psychological factors, are contributing to the emergence of psychiatric outcomes during the pandemic. Although clinical studies and diagnosing SARS-CoV-2-related neurological disease can be challenging, they are necessary to help define the manifestations and burden of COVID-19 in neurological and psychiatric symptoms during and after the pandemic. This review aims to present the neurobiology of coronavirus and postmortem neuropathological hallmarks.
