Resumo(s)
With the COVID-19 pandemic, the concern with mental health increased. Thus, the aim of
this study is to evaluate the impacts of the pandemic on the prevalence of anxiety and
depression. Considering this, it was used data from the European COvid Survey (ECOS) and
Our World in data, including information for 9 different waves and 7 European countries. To
estimate the consequences of a set of pandemic-related factors (such as the dominant variant,
Oxford stringency index, number of new cases, etc.), Linear Probability Models with Fixed
Effects were used, and then different approaches were applied to test the robustness of the
results. The main conclusion was that, in fact, the pandemic impacted negatively on mental
health but was not the main cause behind the presence of extreme cases of anxiety or
depression.
