UN Policy Brief: COVID-19 and the Need for Action on Mental Health
May 14, 2020
13 May 2020
“Although the COVID-19 crisis is, in the first instance, a physical health crisis, it as the seeds of a major mental health crisis as well, if action is not taken. Good mental health is critical to the functioning of society at the best of times. It must be front and centre of every country’s response to and recovery from the
COVID-19 pandemic. The mental health and wellbeing of whole societies have been severely impacted by this crisis and are a priority to be addressed urgently.”
