The current public health emergency due to COVID-19 is having an enormous impact at various levels. In addition to the uncertainty of its epidemiological evolution, there is concern about the economic situation related to the lockdown implemented to control it, which involves a radical change in habits and forms of relationship.<\/p>\n

Worry about one's own health and that of family or friends can generate fear and become panic when there is a loss of social connections and a feeling of helplessness. These experiences can have a severe impact on vulnerable individuals or when accompanied by grief from sudden losses of relatives without the possibility of saying goodbye. The consequences for psychological balance can be more long-lasting and even lead to post-traumatic stress disorder.<\/p>\n

The FCCSM has always had a proactive, interdisciplinary, and community-based vision of mental health. In current times, it is more important than ever to help protect it and offer hope so as not to reach the end of the acute phase of the pandemic emotionally exhausted. In this way, it will be possible to actively defend with evidence-based arguments the reorientation of the current socioeconomic and cultural model towards caring for people's needs and developing their potential, in line with the WHO's definition of mental health.<\/p>\n
