“…The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a 25% increase in the worldwide prevalence of anxiety and depression in 2020 [4] . In addition to anxiety and depression, the prevalence of other mental health disorders, such as posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD), sleep disturbances, drug abuse, and internet addiction, also increased during and after the pandemic [5] , [6] . Based on 283 studies with 948,882 individuals from multiple populations, a recently published meta-analysis comprehensively estimated the pooled prevalence of various COVID-19-induced mental health problems [6] .…”

“…During the COVID-19 pandemic, infected individuals suffered from substantial psychological stress because of the fear of transmission to families or other people around them, in addition to the direct effect of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 on the brain. A meta-analysis showed that 37.2% of the infected patients had depressive symptoms, 34.4% had symptoms of anxiety, and 40.1% reported insomnia during several modern-era epidemics, mainly COVID-19 [6] . Similarly, frontline healthcare workers are very vulnerable to high exposure to demoralization, self-blame, and other mental health problems after witnessing infections and COVID-19-induced deaths daily.…”

“…Similarly, frontline healthcare workers are very vulnerable to high exposure to demoralization, self-blame, and other mental health problems after witnessing infections and COVID-19-induced deaths daily. Healthcare workers more commonly presented symptoms of depression (37.7%), anxiety (35.9%), insomnia (39.3%), and PTSD (26.9%) [6] . Studies have also suggested that the high burden of PTSD experienced by healthcare workers contributed to their high risk for suicidal ideation during a pandemic [5] , [7] .…”

Long-term sequelae clustering phenotypes are important for precise health care management in COVID-19 survivors. We reported findings for 1000 survivors 20 months after diagnosis of COVID-19 in a community-based cohort in China. Sequelae symptoms were collected from a validated questionnaire covering 27 symptoms involved in five organ systems including self-reported physical condition, dyspnea, cognitive function and mental health. The generalized symptoms were reported with the highest rate (60.7%), followed by the mental (48.3%), cardiopulmonary (39.8%), neurological (37.1%; cognitive impairment, 15.6%), and digestive symptoms (19.1%). Four clusters were identified by latent class analysis: 44.9% no or mild group (cluster 1), 29.2% moderate group with mainly physical impairment (cluster 2), 9.6% moderate group with mainly cognitive and mental health impairment (cluster 3), and 16.3% severe group (cluster 4). Physical comorbidities or history of mental disorders, longer hospitalization periods and severe acute illness predicted severe group. For moderate group, adults less than 60 years, with physical comorbidities and severe acute illness were more likely to have physical symptoms, while adult women with longer hospitalization stays had increased risk of cognitive and mental health impairment. Overall, among more than half of community COVID-19 survivors who presented moderate or severe sequelae 20 months after recovery, three-tenth had physical vulnerability that may require physical therapy aiming to improve functioning, one-tenth mental or cognitive vulnerable cases need psychotherapy and cognitive rehabilitation, and one-sixth severe group needs multidisciplinary clinical management. The remaining half is free to clinical intervention. Our findings introduced an important framework to map numerous symptoms to precise classification of the clinical sequelae phenotype and provide information to guide future stratified recovery interventions.

Introduction: Mental health deterioration had already been reported prior to the pandemic, resulting in domestic violence, but this has not yet been reported in the pandemic in Central America. Objective: To determine the factors associated with the occurrence of domestic violence in the last half year of the pandemic in Honduras. Methodology: Analytical and retrospective cross-sectional study, carried out through a survey in 17 departments of Honduras, in hospitals and first level health care centers. The main variable was obtained through the question "if you suffered domestic violence in the last 6 months", being the possible answer verbal, physical, psychological. Descriptive and analytical results were obtained. Results: Of the 8442 Hondurans surveyed, 4.2% (352) perceived verbal violence, 1.9% (165) physical violence and 1.3% (113) psychological violence. In the multivariate analysis, it was found that women (p=0.001), those with a history of alcohol (p=0.002) or drug use (p=0.015), previous mental illness (p<0.001), mild (p<0.001), moderate (p<0.001) or severe (p=0.025) depression (p<0.001) had experienced more domestic violence; On the contrary, there was less perception of domestic violence at higher economic income (all p-values were <0.029), among single (p=0.003) and married people (p<0.001). Discussion: Important factors were found to be associated with suffering from violence, especially social factors and a history of mental illness, as well as alcohol and drug use in the home
