Prevalence of Mental Health Problems During Virus Epidemics in the General Public, Health Care Workers and Survivors: A Rapid Review of the Evidence 2020-05-22 .txt text/plain 6873 370 47 Results: Most original studies on MHP were conducted in China in the context of SARS-CoV-1, and reported on anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress symptoms/disorder, general psychiatric morbidity, and psychological symptoms. While considerable efforts rely on protective and treatment measures such as virus transmission pathways, clinical presentations, and the development of vaccinations, attention is only recently given to short or long-term mental health problems (MHP, hereafter defined as psychiatric/psychological symptoms and mental illness/disorders) (Rajkumar, 2020) that may arise due to the different surrounding consequences of an epidemic in the general public, health care workers (HCW), and survivors of infectious diseases (survivors). In this rapid review of 74 original articles we found a wide range of MHP including anxiety, depression, PTSD and stress related symptoms or disorders, psychiatric morbidity, and many further MHP like paranoid ideation, hallucinations, and insomnia that may occur in the general public, HCW or survivors during and after epidemic outbreaks. ./cache/cord-319704-xzhoa03d.txt ./txt/cord-319704-xzhoa03d.txt
