O impacto da pandemia Covid-19 no cotidiano e saúde mental de pessoas em situação de vulnerabilidade social

Abstract

This work aims to reflect, through a narrative review of the literature, on the impact of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 on the mental health of people in situations of social vulnerability. The set of these factors that impact the mental health of people in a situation of social vulnerability at that moment is discussed, exposing the importance of mental health care and the role of public policies in facing the pandemic. COVID-19 has highlighted vulnerabilities and brought issues of health, education, social protection, gender and race, ways of life, control and surveillance, housing and work to the center of the debate. In this way, the pandemic can be understood as a catalyst for mental illness, especially for the most vulnerable populations.
