               Impact of Human Pandemics of COVID-19 on the Mental

               Health of Serbia

               As the coronavirus pandemic rapidly sweeps across the world, it is inducing a considerable
               degree  of  fear,  worry  and  concern  in  the  population  at  large  and  among  certain  groups  in
               particular, such as older adults, care providers and people with underlying health conditions.
               In public mental health terms, the main psychological impact to date is elevated rates of stress
               or anxiety. The analysis shows that the pandemic has led to increased economic uncertainty,
               increased unemployment and underemployment pressure, increased income uncertainty, and
               different degrees of employment pressure and economic difficulties.
               These difficulties have stimulated different levels of mental health problems, ranging from
               perceived  insecurity  (environmental,  food  safety,  etc.),  worry,  fear,  to  stress,  anxiety,
               depression,  etc.  With  the  symptoms  of  psychological  distress  are  more  obvious  among
               disadvantageous  groups;  and  mental  health  problems  have  caused  behavior  changes,  and
               various stress behaviors such as protective behaviors and resistive behaviors.
               This paper presents the extent of the impact of the pandemic on the development of mental
               instability and current diagnostic possibilities. Subpopulations necessary for planning short-
               term intervention in the organizational, informative and medical areas were identified.
               A psychiatric guide for immediate support and assistance was proposed. There are no studies
               on investigation of impact of human pandemics of COVID-19 on the mental development of
               people in Serbia in 2020 to 2023.
