description Minimising deaths due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global priority. However, the harmful effects are not limited to those directly related to the infection. The COVID-19 pandemic has also had a serious impact on the mental health of the general population. An increasing number of people are exhibiting signs of depression and an increase in suicides has also been noted around the world. Mental health issues may be linked to starting or increasing the use of addictive substances, such as tobacco, alcohol and drugs, along with increased overweight and obesity resulting from changes in eating habits. These issues can impact cardiovascular diseases because of worsened risk factor control. This review discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and cardiovascular risk factors. It will also summarise the measures that can be taken to maintain good mental health and their importance in mitigating cardiovascular disease.
