Objetivo:  describir de forma general el impacto de la COVID-19 sobre la salud mental de las personas.  Métodos:  se realizó una búsqueda de literatura relevante sobre el tema en marzo de 2020. Se utilizaron diferentes buscadores de información científica: Pubmed, Google y Google Académico. La estrategia de búsqueda incluyó los siguientes términos como palabras claves: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, 2019nCoV, salud mental, ansiedad y depresión. Se evaluaron artículos de revisión, de investigación y páginas web publicados en idioma español, portugués e inglés. Fueron excluidos los artículos que no cumplieron con estas condiciones. Se estudiaron 46 referencias bibliográficas, de las cuales, 25 se citaron en el presente artículo.  Conclusiones:  la COVID-19 repercute negativamente sobre la salud mental de las personas de la población en general, y en particular, sobre los grupos poblacionales más vulnerables. La incertidumbre asociada con esta enfermedad, más el efecto del distanciamiento social, el aislamiento y la cuarentena, pueden agravar la salud mental de la población; dicha situación también puede afectar al personal de la salud.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT  Introduction:  the COVID-19 pandemic is generating an unprecedented crisis which can make people feel out of control.  Objective:  to describe in a general way the impact of COVID-19 on people's mental health.  Method:  a review of relevant literature on the subject was carried out in March 2020. Pubmed, Google and Google Scholar were used as search engines for scientific information. The search strategy included the following terms as keywords: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, 2019-nCoV, mental health, anxiety and depression. Review articles, research articles and web pages published in English, Portuguese and Spanish languages were selected. Articles that did not meet these criteria were excluded. Forty-six bibliographic references were studied; 25 of them were cited in the current article.  Conclusions:  COVID-19 has a negative impact on people's mental health in general, and in particular, on the most vulnerable population groups. The uncertainty associated with this disease, as well as the effect of social distancing, isolation, and quarantine can worse people's mental health; a situation that health staff do not escape either.]]></p></abstract>
