Around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to relatively limited changes in mental health symptoms compared with before the pandemic, according to new data.
The investigators conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing general mental health, anxiety symptoms, or depression symptoms in January 2020 or later with mental health outcomes collected between January 2018 and December 2019. Eligible studies included 90% or more of the same participants before and during the COVID-19 pandemic or used statistical methods to account for the missing data.
Among women, the changes were somewhat larger, with general mental health , anxiety symptoms , and depression symptoms becoming slightly worse. To truly understand the shifts, Thombs noted, researchers should measure both before and after an event. That's why the investigators examined only studies that tracked mental health before and during the pandemic.
"The good news is that many of them have data on some of the vulnerable groups that we weren't able to say much about due to limited data," he said."We have also identified several hundred studies that track mental health across the pandemic, which will add to the picture."
