Ansiedad depresión en las personas que sobreviven al Covid 19

Abstract

Covid 19 is an infectious disease that causes acute respiratory syndrome in human beings. The lack of knowledge and uncertainty surrounding the attention and care of infected patients influenced this epidemiological outbreak to become a worldwide pandemic with a high mortality rate. Continuous advances in the health field have made it possible to control the spread of the virus, allowing a more significant number of people to survive. However, this population group is prone to suffer from specific psychiatric sequelae such as anxiety and depression. Methodology: The present research is a systematic review conducted under a qualitative approach, with the analysis of scientific articles obtained from different sources of information duly referenced using the Mendeley Data Manager. Results: Anxiety and depression are recognized as the main psychiatric alterations presented by people infected with Covid 19 and are presented acutely months after a person has overcome the disease, evidencing considerable psychiatric comorbidity. Conclusion: Among the factors associated with the appearance of anxiety and depression in healed Covid-19 patients are the socioeconomic level of the recovered person, age, sex, intrafamily conflicts, fear of a new infection, not being able to recuperate fully, and social isolation.
