“…From the lens of major disorders, some studies have highlighted that in response to COVID-19, anxiety has been the most common reaction among vulnerable groups, such as children, women, and elderly people, as well as among individuals with chronic illnesses (Li et al 2021 ; Malesza & Kaczmarek 2021 ; Wang et al 2020a , b , c ). Based on Raesi et al ( 2020 ), severe and prolonged anxiety originating from COVID-19 may result in psychological distress and lead to disruption in daily life. They mention that among Iranian people, anxiety, worry, and confusion were the main emotional issues at the beginning of the virus outbreak (Raesi et al 2020 ).…”

Khan et al 2021a , b have pointed out that “a combination of increased anxiety, diminished social opportunities, and the shift to telehealth service provision presents particular challenges for the treatment of social anxiety in youth, which relies heavily on exposures to social situations with peers, adults, or other feared social stimuli” (Khan et al 2021a , b , p. 1).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic is the most difficult challenge that has affected humanity in recent decades. It has disrupted many features of development with domino effects in the social sphere. This study reviews the literature on the social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and identifies the affected social areas that have undergone dramatic changes during the pandemic. We use inductive content analysis and thematic analysis to review the literature. The results show that there are seven major areas that have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic: health, social vulnerability, education, social capital, social relationships, social mobility, and social welfare. The literature has reported dramatic psychological and emotional effects, exacerbation of segregation and poverty, disruption in educational systems and formation of an information gap, as well as a declining trends of social capital among communities. We highlight some lessons that can be learned from the pandemic to enhance social resilience in future. Among others, to effectively respond to the pandemic and other potential future adverse events, governments should adopt fair policies, identify the required changes in the socially affected contexts and take necessary responsive actions, and adopt collaboratively designed approaches to increase social resilience.

“…A qualitative analysis of the data obtained showed that most of these emotions were the result of low awareness or misinformation ( 66 ). Apparently, the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the national economy and subsequently on the daily life of people has led to increased feelings of despair and hopelessness in society and in some cases, even led to suicidal thoughts ( 67 ). In Russia, during the pandemic, the number of people who applied for psychological or psychiatric help increased from 10 to 30%, depending on the region.…”

Background: The article reviews the literature data on various somatic and mental pathologies, which are comorbid processes with similar pathophysiological, genetic and neurochemical mechanisms. The psychosomatic manifestations of cardiovascular diseases and coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are considered. Particular attention is paid to post-traumatic stress disorder of participants in local wars. Comorbid pathology, in combination with depression and anxiety, aggravates the course of the disease, leading to disability in the adult population and premature death. Methods: The literature was searched in PubMed, Mendeley, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases to identify relevant studies published from 2012 to 2022. Results: Our literature search revealed a bidirectional association between comorbid psychiatric and somatic disorders. The prevalence of somatic diseases increases in people with a predominance of mental disorders. Conclusion: There is growing evidence that the combination of anxiety-depressive disorders and physical illness worsens the severity of the disease, complicating the diagnosis of the presence of one and/or several physical symptoms. However, more clinical trials are still needed to determine their full mechanisms of action.
