Abstract

Context: The outbreak of the highly infectious COVID-19 has led to a global public health and economic crisis, especially in developing countries. Due to the global burden and spread and the high mortality rate of the virus, as well as an inadequate Mental Health care system in Nigeria, inhabitants often experience fear, Depression, and anxiety that, if left unaddressed, may lead to longterm consequences. Although Depression was a concerning issue in Nigeria before COVID-19, the Pandemic has caused a surge in Depression cases. This review highlighted the possible causes of Depression among Nigerians during the COVID-19 Pandemic and identified potential mitigating interventions to prevent Depression. Evidence Acquisition: We searched PubMed for the articles published from January 2019 to September 2020 using the terms of "Depression", "COVID-19", and "Nigeria". The articles resulting from these searches and the relevant references cited in those articles were reviewed. Results: Nigerians are likely to fall into Depression due to the challenges and limitations affecting the economy and development of Nigeria. Conclusions: During the COVID-19 struggle, providing sound Mental Health services for individuals is imperative to maintain nations' Mental Health for a more rapid recovery across various measures of societal well-being post-COVID-19.
