abstract = {The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a range of studies on mental
health, with mixed results. While numerous studies reported
worsened conditions in individuals with pre-existing mental
disorders, others showed resilience and stability in mental
health. However, longitudinal data focusing on the German
population are sparse, especially regarding effects of age
and pre-existing mental disorders during the early stages of
the pandemic.To assess the interplay between psychiatric
history, age, and the timing of the pandemic, with a focus
on understanding how these factors relate to the severity of
depression and anxiety symptoms.Exploratory analyses were
based on 135,445 individuals aged 20-72 years from the
German National Cohort (NAKO). Depressive and anxiety
symptoms were assessed before and after the first wave of
the pandemic. Inferential statistical analyses and negative
binomial regression models were calculated.Persons with a
self-reported psychiatric history exhibited comparable
levels of depression and anxiety symptom severity after the
first wave of the pandemic compared to the time before. In
contrast, individuals without a psychiatric history,
particularly those in their 20s to 40s, experienced an
increase in mental health symptom severity during the first
wave of the pandemic.Analyses focuses on the first wave of
the pandemic, leaving the long-term mental health effects
unexplored.Future research should consider age-specific and
mental-health-related factors when addressing global health
crises. Additionally, it is important to explore factors
influencing resilience and adaptation, aiming to develop
targeted interventions and informed policies for effective
mental health management during pandemics.},
