Abstract
Research on the effects of COVID-19 on mental health is abundant. This work aims to systematize the main findings on this topic to have a broad and complete view of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health at a global level. After briefly describing the current state of mental health in terms of incidence, treatment and investment at the international and local levels, a systematic literature review was carried out, focusing on published review articles and meta-analyses (24 articles), to know what the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health are, what the main factors (risk and protection) associated with the relationship between COVID-19 and mental health are, and what prevention and intervention actions have been carried out and their effects on preventing mental health issues. Finally, some implications are raised for the future of mental health.
