新冠肺炎疫情已经引发了一场全球性的危机。目前，大家都在关注预防COVID19感染，准备和讨论与身体健康后果相关的问题。然而，重要的是要认识到，少数人将面临危及生命的负面身体健康后果，但每个人都将面临大流行的负面心理健康后果。各地正在建立新冠肺炎医院，以应对疫情对身体健康的影响。然而，精神卫生专业人员一直没有非常积极地参与到经历这场大流行的人的管理中。这一观点讨论了大流行对医护人员、正在接受隔离的人、住进新冠肺炎医院的人以及感染后康复的人的心理健康后果。文章还强调了不同层次的人的心理健康需求以及可能进行的干预类型。
COVID-19 pandemic has led to a worldwide crisis. At present, everyone is focusing on the prevention of COVID19 infection, preparing and discussing issues related to physical health consequences. However, it is important to understand that the life-threatening negative physical health consequences are going to be faced by a few, but everyone is going to face the negative mental health consequences of the pandemic. At various places COVID-19 hospitals are being established, to address the physical health consequences of the pandemic. However, mental health professionals have not been very actively involved in the management of people going through this pandemic. This viewpoint discusses the mental health consequences of the pandemic for the health care workers, people who are undergoing quarantine, people who are admitted to the COVID-19 hospitals, and those who have recovered from the infection. The article also highlights the mental health needs of people at different levels and the kind of interventions, which may be carried out.
