Mirko Manchia et al.

Summary: The global public health crisis caused by COVID-19 has had a lasting impact on mental health, with most individuals showing surprising resilience and quick recovery from the pandemic measures.

Mental health over nine months during the SARS-CoV2 pandemic: Representative cross-sectional survey in twelve waves between April and December 2020 in Austria

T. Niederkrotenthaler et al.

Summary: The study found that the negative impacts of the pandemic on population mental health, particularly increases in domestic violence and depressive symptoms to some extent, were most closely related to the timing of strict lockdown measures. Non-traditional risk groups in mental health, such as women, young people, healthcare staff, individuals working from home, and those with Covid-19, warrant heightened attention in prevention efforts during and after the pandemic.

COVID-19 and Student Well-Being: Stress and Mental Health during Return-to-School

Kelly Dean Schwartz et al.

Summary: Students have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, facing threats to their health, school closures, online learning, and social distancing. Most students returned to school in person, with moderate concerns, while some reported high stress levels, especially females and older adolescents. Stress indicators were correlated with self-reported concerns and accounted for significant variance in behavioral issues. Additionally, schools should provide both universal responses and targeted strategies to support students during the pandemic.
