At the beginning of the year 2020, since the declaration of the global health emergency as a consequence of the pandemic produced by COVID-19, the world witnessed a drastic change that would definitely modify the so-called normality forever. A systematic search of publications was carried out in the Pubmed, Google and Google Scholar databases. The following keywords were included in the search: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, 2019nCoV, mental health, mental health. It was found that mental health alterations, developed during the pandemic and previously diagnosed, represent a fairly complex vulnerability picture in relation to age, work environment, pathological background, gender and idiosyncrasy, which translates into violent attitudes, consumption of harmful substances, establishment of mental disorders, which can generate complications before an imminent contagion. It was concluded that factors such as socioeconomic inequality, cessation of commercial and industrial activities, forced confinement, contagion, and death of family members or close relatives have a negative influence on the mental health of the population.
