Abstract

The following article aims to establish the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health with a mixed methodology. It raises the possibility of increased development of mental illness, and with it the crisis in
health systems. As a result of the analysis it was established that mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety, will have a significant increase during the pandemic, and their effects will continue many decades
after it is overcome. Finally, a projection of the long-term consequences of the pandemicwas made, and it was determined that there is a high probability that 20% of the world's population will develop some form of mental illness as a result of the context generated by the pandemic.
