The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic emerged in Wuhan, China and has spread all over the world and has caused huge threats to health and lives. It has affected different frontiers of lives and induced many psychiatric individual and collective problems such as panic, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorders, suspiciousness, infodemia, cacophony, xenophobia, racisms, etc. The COVID-19 outbreak has induced public and global mental health crisis as well as a huge psycho-social experiment. Psychiatry and other mental health sciences can play very useful role in supporting the well-being of COVID-19 patients and their families, healthcare personnel and the society. For successful fighting with present and future pandemics we have to learn more about psychiatric and psychological aspects of COVID-19 from the perspectives of public and global mental health.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情在中国武汉爆发，并已蔓延至世界各地，对健康和生命造成巨大威胁。它影响了生活的不同领域，并引发了许多精神科个人和集体问题，如恐慌、焦虑、抑郁、创伤后应激障碍、多疑、信息泛滥、喧嚣、仇外心理、种族主义等。COVID-19 疫情引发了公众和全球心理健康危机，以及一场巨大的心理社会实验。精神病学和其他心理健康科学可以在支持 COVID-19 患者及其家属、医疗保健人员和社会的福祉方面发挥非常有用的作用。为了成功应对当前和未来的大流行，我们必须从公众和全球心理健康的角度更多地了解 COVID-19 的精神和心理方面。
