Abstract: COVID-19 presents significant social, economic, and medical challenges. Because COVID-19 has already begun to precipitate huge increases in mental health problems, clinical psychological science must assert a leadership role in guiding a national response to this secondary crisis. In this paper, COVID-19 is conceptualized as a unique, compounding, multidimensional stressor that will create a vast need for intervention and necessitate new paradigms for mental health service delivery and training.

“…In addition, greater coronavirus-related perceived stress was a strong predictor of higher functional impairment as well as health anxiety, and predicted symptoms of depressive and anxiety disorders. Our findings provide further evidence of the significant impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on mental health and the need for clinical psychological science to effectively identify and provide services for individuals and communities struggling with COVID-19 associated mental health issues (Gruber et al 2020).…”

“…The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has had a devastating health and economic impact on the world, with upwards of 20.5 million people infected worldwide and over 750,000 associated deaths as of August 12th, 2020 (John Hopkins University 2020). Beyond the impact on physical health, the ongoing uncertainty related to the pandemic and the dramatic changes in behavior required by social distancing efforts may uniquely and profoundly impact mental health (Gruber et al 2020;Pfefferbaum and North 2020;Wang et al 2020). Prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders may increase due to exacerbated and sustained stress related to COVID-19 given the role of stress in the etiology of these disorders.…”

“…The clinical research community has emphasized the importance of considering the pandemic as a multi dimensional stressor to understand mental health consequences 1 . Here, I suggest that this consideration extends beyond clinical science: all the data that are cur rently being collected from human participants are likely to be influenced by this sustained stress exposure.…”

“…The fear of illness for ourselves and our loved ones for an unknown period of time has been combined with, for example, prolonged disruptions to daily routine, education, child care, occupation and income that have resulted from efforts to limit the spread of the virus 1 . In the United States, these challenges have been disproportionately faced by Black and Indigenous people and other people of colour, who are also systema tically exposed to more stressful experiences 1,2 . Isolation and lack of social support can also trigger maladap tive coping behaviours such as increased substance use that can potentiate risk for COVID19 related complications 3 and interact with stress pathways to alter brain circuitry and cognitive function 4 .…”
