Stress resilience during the coronavirus pandemic
Open accessAbstract
The epidemic of the 2019 novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, causing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global public health emergency with multifaceted severe consequences for people's lives and their mental health. In this article, as members of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) Resilience, we will discuss the urgent need for a focus on resilience during the current coronavirus pandemic. Resilience is pivotal to cope with stress and vital to stay in balance. We will discuss the importance of resilience at the individual and societal level, but also the implication for patients with a psychiatric condition and health care workers. We not only advocate for an increased focus on mental health during the coronavirus pandemic but also highlight the urgent need of augmenting our focus on resilience and on strategies to enhance it.

The outbreak of COVID-19 was a catalyst for anxiety and stress, including worry about the self, others, and the economy.
“For many, the outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was a catalyst for anxiety and stress, including worry about the self, others, and the economy (Saeed et al., 2022; Taylor et al., 2020; Vinkers et al., 2020).”
From Mindfulness Effects on Anxiety: Disentangling the Role of Decentering and Treatment Expectations (2024) · cites this paper as Vinkers et al., 2020
In “Stress as a normal response to the coronavirus pandemic,” the paper describes anxiety and distress as normal responses and identifies fear of infection as a stressor. “Resilience in the general population” links the pandemic’s health and economic effects to psychosocial stress. The copy does not specifically describe worry about others as a source of anxiety for the general population. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
