The objective of the present prospective population-based study is to shed light the possible increase in the number of people with an anxiety disorder or depression.
The first aim was to compare the prevalence of high Anxiety and Depression Symptom (ADS) levels and lack of Emotional Support (ES) during the period in which the COVID-19 pandemic developed very rapidly in the Netherlands (during March 2020), with high ADS levels and lack of ES before the COVID-19 outbreak.
The second aim was to examine to what extent specific subgroups are at risk for high ADS levels and lack of ES compared to “normal” circumstances.
