Abstract
The study examines the influence of the COVID-19 crisis on the mental health of the general population, on certain risk groups and psychiatric care during the crisis in Switzerland. On the one hand, the results of studies on this topic are summarized and analyzed. On the other hand, medium-term effects should also be recorded (e.g. possible increase in mental illnesses and suicide attempts in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic). The aim is that specific conclusions can be drawn from this - on the one hand, in the short term for any next waves of the pandemic and, on the other hand, for future similar situations. Recommendations are to be formulated which allow the actors concerned to strengthen the mental health of the population as much as possible in the next crisis.
