Sumario:This longitudinal study aimed to examine the within-person changes in suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety between the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic and the third wave (i.e., one year later), while nationwide lockdowns were in effect. Among 720 respondents, 4.72% presented suicidal ideation, which appeared unaltered one-year post-pandemic onset, while both depression (21.25% versus 28.06%) and anxiety (12.08% versus 18.47%) increased significantly, adjusting for gender, age, and mental health history. Suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety during the third pandemic wave were independently associated with crucial socio-demographic, clinical, psychological and psychopathological variables, in the stepwise regression analyses performed.
