ABSTRACT

Health workers are a vulnerable population to present psychiatric disorders. During the COVID-19 pandemic, new stressors appeared, such as the increase in deaths, the fear of becoming infected and affecting their loved ones, etc., which favored the appearance of these disorders rapidly and alarmingly in this group. Psychiatric disorders should not be implicit in medical practice; this only reflects the poor support network they have, the little interest of health authorities in these issues, and a hostile environment that, together, prevent health professionals from being able to ask for help.
