Key Words Corona virus disease 2019; Mental health; Psychological burden; Postpandemic; Research priorities; Global health
Core Tip The corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has exacerbated global mental health disparities, disproportionately affecting vulnerable groups (e.g., healthcare workers, youth, and marginalized communities). Unique pandemic stressors (e.g., social isolation, economic instability, and long COVID-related neuropsychiatric symptoms) have created new risk pathways. Systemic barriers such as fragmented care, stigma, and digital inequities limit intervention scalability, especially in low-resource settings. Evidence highlights resilience factors (social support, adaptive coping) and urgent priorities: Longitudinal research on chronic outcomes, culturally adapted interventions, and policy reforms integrating mental health into primary care and digital platforms. This crisis demands equity-focused, multidisciplinary action to mitigate long-term consequences.
