Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global trauma. To date, the pandemic has not only taken away the lives of four million people, but also created an unprecedented impact on the mental health in both infected patients and non-infected populations, both directly due to the medical complications associated with infection, and indirectly because of the implementation of public health measures such as social distancing, lockdowns and quarantines [reviewed by Kontoangelos et al. (1) and Vindegaard and Benros (2)]. The availability of effective vaccines to the general public once sparked the hope of impending emergence from the trauma. Unfortunately, this has been undermined recently by the emergence of new and more contagious variants of the virus. Amidst the progressive return to “normal” in some places, a number of countries are now facing the challenges of a new wave of epidemic caused by the latest variant of the COVID-19 virus. Despite the pandemic's widespread impact on mental health in different populations including the general public and healthcare workers [e.g., (2)], the focus of research since the beginning of the outbreak has been on medical complications of infection. This collection is expected to fill this gap by focusing on the indirect or mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with special attention to the Chinese people during the early stage of the outbreak.
