“…Vorteile sind ein direkter „Face-to-face“-Kontakt ohne Maske und ein kontextualisierter Einblick in das Leben der Patient*innen zu Hause [ 9 ]. Zu den Herausforderungen gehören die Notwendigkeit einer sorgfältigeren Sicherheitsplanung für Hochrisikopatient*innen, die Aufrechterhaltung professioneller Grenzen in der neuen informellen virtuellen Umgebung, die Gestaltung des physischen Raums und die Berücksichtigung von Verzögerungen und Unterbrechungen [ 11 , 12 ]. Obwohl telemedizinische Angebote bereits zu Beginn der Pandemie zur Verfügung standen und im weiteren Verlauf auch reliable Konzepte für eine telemedizinische Versorgung für psychisch erkrankte Menschen ausgearbeitet wurden [ 13 ], bedarf es dringend der Verbesserung der technischen Ausstattung sowohl der Kliniken als auch der betroffenen Patient*innen, um eine breite Anwendung zu ermöglichen.…”

“…In such situations, the mental health service takes a backseat even though there has been an increase in the demand for mental health services [ 29 , 30 ]. Despite substantial evidence, there has been negligence in identifying people with mental health illnesses who have been impacted by the pandemic, especially in resource-poor countries [ 31 , 32 ]. This is manifested in the lack of mental health service availability in developing countries during this outbreak.…”

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted biopsychosocial health and wellbeing globally. Pre-pandemic studies suggest a high prevalence of common mental disorders, including anxiety and depression in South Asian countries, which may aggravate during this pandemic. This systematic meta-analytic review was conducted to estimate the pooled prevalence of anxiety and depression in South Asian countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method We systematically searched for cross-sectional studies on eight major bibliographic databases and additional sources up to October 12, 2020, that reported the prevalence of anxiety or depression in any of the eight South Asian countries. A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled proportion of anxiety and depression. Results A total of 35 studies representing 41,402 participants were included in this review. The pooled prevalence of anxiety in 31 studies with a pooled sample of 28,877 was 41.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 34.7–48.1, I 2 = 99.18%). Moreover, the pooled prevalence of depression was 34.1% (95% CI: 28.9–39.4, I 2 = 99%) among 37,437 participants in 28 studies. Among the South Asian countries, India had a higher number of studies, whereas Bangladesh and Pakistan had a higher pooled prevalence of anxiety and depression. No studies were identified from Afghanistan, Bhutan, and Maldives. Studies in this review had high heterogeneity, high publication bias confirmed by Egger's test, and varying prevalence rates across sub-groups. Conclusion South Asian countries have high prevalence rates of anxiety and depression, suggesting a heavy psychosocial burden during this pandemic. Clinical and public mental health interventions should be prioritized alongside improving the social determinants of mental health in these countries. Lastly, a low number of studies with high heterogeneity requires further research exploring the psychosocial epidemiology during COVID-19, which may inform better mental health policymaking and practice in South Asia.

“…Innovations developed in lowresource settings by global research hubs may facilitate access to mental health care across age groups during and post-pandemic even in developed countries. 6 Professional health organizations and stakeholders play a crucial role in galvanizing policy makers to mandate equity and parity for mental health care.…”
