Preprints with The Lancet is part of SSRN´s First Look, a place where journals identify content of interest prior to publication. Authors have opted in at submission to The Lancet family of journals to post their preprints on Preprints with The Lancet. The usual SSRN checks and a Lancet-specific check for appropriateness and transparency have been applied. Preprints available here are not Lancet publications or necessarily under review with a Lancet journal. These preprints are early stage research papers that have not been peer-reviewed. The findings should not be used for clinical or public health decision making and should not be presented to a lay audience without highlighting that they are preliminary and have not been peer-reviewed.

Background: The symptoms of anxiety and depressive disorders are influenced by COVID-19. The risk of getting this mental health had been more and more proved by real and clinical experience. This study is to obtain more evidence in group, subgroup, races, or other factors.
Methods: In this cohort study, we selected data from the CDC in those five federal agencies in the United States for the household 51-week survey and estimated weekly this survey included some internet questionnaire, participating some activities by phone interviews, email or mail, text message to have respondents answering some specific questions related to the impact COVID-19 pandemic with respondents’ physical and mental health. These participants are selected randomly by federal units in the United States between April 23, 2020, and November 2, 2022. This survey had a lot of design of problems about participants’ physical and mental wellness because of being funking of COVID-19 pandemic impact on their employment status, consumer spending, food security, housing, education disruptions. The main variables of data include Indicator, Group, Subgroup, Phase of depressive or anxiety disorders, Low CI, High CI, value of estimation, etc. We analyzed the risks in the following factors: indicator, group, subgroup, value of estimation, phase. To increase further statistics factor. we added the standard deviation of sample by computing the value of each subset.
Findings: We used data set provided by CDC in the U.S. with 11256 survey respondents according to estimate weekly in employment status, consumer spending, food security, housing, education disruptions, and dimensions of physical and mental wellness during COVID pandemic between April 23, 2020, and November 14, 2022. The data includes indicator with there type of symptoms of anxiety, depressive, and anxiety or depressive disorders, group with 5 types of groups of national estimates, by age, by sex, by race /Hispanic ethnicity, by education, and by State, subgroup with 60 different types, and estimate values. Symptoms of depression or anxiety were divided into 9 different phases. The serious one was Phase 3.6. To study further data and variables, we compute corresponding standard deviation (STDS). The most outcomes had 156 cases (1.4%) of national estimate, 1099 (9.8%) by age, 314 (2.8%) by sex, 785 (7.0%) by race/ Hispanic ethnicity, 629 (5.6%) by education, 7803 (69.3%) by State. In the indicator, symptoms of anxiety disorder were the most significant position. The least one was symptoms of depressive disorder. For subgroup bisexual, Cis-gender female or male, with or without disability. Also, the risk ratios of transgender, bisexual, and with disability status were higher than other subsets. It is possible to have the prone to psychosis. They had more negative mental health outcomes for all evaluations during COVID-19 than other participants. This confirms that anxiety and depression could have frequency depending on gender, socialization, and cultural background for some individuals.
Interpretation: In this analysis we want to emphasize on the increased risks of symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorders for group, subgroup, and other population with disability status during COVID-19 pandemic, even leading to psychotic disorders of post-COVID-19 pandemic. The findings from this study needs to have the attention of mental health service divisions in the United States and worldwide.
