- Purpose: The study aimed to review the current literature on the psychosocial consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in psychiatric care. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the available literature, the author discussed and grouped the stressors related to the coronavirus pandemic. Next, the author drew attention to the harmful effects of pandemic stressors on psychosocial consequences. The author based his considerations on the latest world literature on the subject - only from the pandemic period, i.e., 2020-2022. For this purpose, the author studied mainly scientific articles and electronic sources. The author used the following professional scientific databases: Taylor & Francis online, PubMed, and Google Scholar to collect scientific literature. Findings: The SARS-CoV-2 virus has changed the image of everyday functioning in society, which has had an impact on mental health. The coronavirus pandemic contributed to psychosocial disorders that significantly reduced the quality of life. There has been a significant increase in depression, drug-induced disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorders. In the literature analysis, the author also indicated a rise in loneliness among seniors, increased domestic violence, and an increased risk of suicidal behavior. Social implications: The pandemic has shown investment in health means an investment in the economy, security, and the world's future. An efficient and safe health system is a raison d'etat, but it is also a colossal civilization challenge. The author noted the great importance of psychiatric care in alleviating stressors related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The author also pointed to the urgent need to subsidize psychiatry in Poland and increase human resources in this area. Originality/value: The author addressed the article to scientists, health care researchers, and managers/directors managing medical entities to make them aware that the coronavirus pandemic has serious health consequences, primarily in the mental sphere, posing a challenge health care systems around the world. The article's value highlights the invaluable and underestimated role of psychiatry in dealing with individual, institutional and social difficulties related to COVID-19 and future emerging infectious diseases. According to the author, the post-pandemic situation in psychiatry should consider the stressors identified during the pandemic and its psychosocial consequences. In this way, doctors can accurately diagnose a patient and propose an effective treatment path, treating the patient comprehensively and holistically.
