Abstract

We have learned numerous painful lessons during the last two years, but simultaneously many other opportunities have arisen. The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, including those produced by the measures to mitigate it, appeared almost immediately. Practically all areas of human existence were touched or disrupted. Particularly, in mental health, the rates of depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and insomnia increased, both among health personnel (Lai et al., 2020) and the general population (Xiong et al., 2020).
