Una pandemia que el mundo creyó medir en muertes y hospitalizaciones revela ahora una segunda herida, más silenciosa: millones de sobrevivientes del COVID-19 enfrentan un riesgo significativamente mayor de trastornos mentales, desde la ansiedad y la depresión hasta pensamientos suicidas y abuso de sustancias. Un estudio del British Medical Journal, basado en casi 154,000 pacientes, documenta que recuperarse del virus no equivale a quedar ileso. La humanidad comienza a comprender que las pandemias no terminan cuando cesa la fiebre, sino que continúan en la mente de quienes sobrevivieron.

Households face higher out-of-pocket healthcare costs for mental health treatment, increased medication expenses (antidepressants +55%, benzodiazepines +65%), reduced workforce productivity, and potential income loss due to cognitive impairment and mental health conditions affecting employment.
Governments may need to expand mental health services funding, increase insurance coverage for psychiatric care, implement long-COVID mental health screening programs, strengthen addiction treatment infrastructure, and potentially adjust disability benefit policies to accommodate post-COVID mental health impacts.
