Abstract

Objective: To analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, from a bibliographic analysis, on mental health. Methods: Qualitative approach, with a cross-sectional and descriptive study. For the collection of information, academic search engines such as: PubMed, MedLine, Scopus, SciELO, Redalyc, eLibros, National Library of Medicine, among others, were used. The work was developed from Google Scholar with a selection of 55 research studies. Results and conclusion: The incidence of mental illness affecting people in Ecuador is high and growing due to the lack of attention provided by the health system, despite the efforts made during the COVID-19 pandemic and after it. It is urged to develop protocols for action, study and control from the beginning of a problem as important as the one that occurred during the pandemic by COVID-19
