Viver durante uma pandemia tem muitas consequências nas nossas rotinas e vivência do dia-a-dia. É esperado que também cause mudanças na saúde mental de crianças e adolescentes. Esta revisão debruçou-se sobre os mais recentes artigos relativos ao impacto da pandemia COVID-19 na saúde mental em idade pediátrica em geral e nas patologias mentais em particular, assim como no impacto de certas medidas tomadas no sentido de controlar a pandemia. A informação contida nesta revisão provém de estudos levados a cabo por todo o mundo. Globalmente, a pandemia aumentou os sintomas psicopatológicos, alterou os hábitos e rotinas, afetou as relações entre pais e filhos, e aumentou os casos de negligência e maus-tratos. Também agravou os sintomas de algumas crianças e adolescentes com patologia mental, contribuiu para a recorrência em indivíduos a recuperar de patologia mental e aumentou as adições. O encerramento das escolas e a telemedicina tiveram um grande impacto no bem-estar das crianças e adolescentes, positivo ou negativo de acordo com a situação específica. Este conhecimento pode preparar-nos para futuras pandemias e contribuir para o desenvolvimento de protocolos com o objetivo de proteger e saúde mental de crianças e adolescentes.

This review studied the most recent articles concerning the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric mental health in general and on specific mental health conditions, as well as the impact of certain measures taken to control the pandemic. The data of this review comes from studies conducted all over the world. Globally, the pandemic has increased the psychopathological symptoms, changed the habits and routines, affected the parent-child relationship, and increased the cases of child neglect and abuse. It has also worsened the symptoms of some children and adolescents suffering from mental illnesses, caused recurrence on individuals recovering from a mental illness and increased addictions. School closure and telehealth have had a major impact on children and adolescents’ wellbeing, either positive or negative depending on the specific situation. This knowledge can prepare us to future pandemics and contribute to the development of protocols that aim to defend children and adolescents’ mental health.
