From the very start of the pandemic, the impact on mental health has been viewed from two opposing perspectives. On the one hand, numerous studies have quantified the rise in mental health disorders. On the other hand, other scientific research has also highlighted the resilience factors at play—that is, the factors that enabled people to cope with stress during this period and in the aftermath. By plunging the entire human race into a situation of major stress, the coronavirus crisis forced people to cope by finding adaptive solutions. The lessons learned can be applied to any difficult situation one might face. However, resilience cannot apply to the entire population: the pandemic continues to hit the most vulnerable populations hardest. Thus, in the future, health authorities could increase their vigilance toward these groups during potential lockdowns and post-lockdown periods, and beyond, in a pandemic context.
