Summary:[...]more than 3 billion unprepared people worldwide had to cope with living under stringent lockdown measures for weeks or months, depending on the country. Multivariate logistic models analysed the associations of the four mental health outcomes (moderate to severe depressive symptoms, severe anxiety, sleep problems and reported need for psychological support from a health professional) with sociodemographic characteristics and exposure to both the virus and the media. Notably, this prevalence had peaked at 74% 2 weeks after lockdown.9 The prevalence of moderate depressive symptoms (PHQ9≥10) reached 22.9% in the present survey, compared with 7% in the French version of the European Health Interview Survey conducted in 2014.5 This large difference underlines the major impact of this sanitary crisis on mental health.Table 1 Mental health in the French general population after 8 weeks of lockdown (COCONEL survey, France, n=2003, 7–10 May 2020) Depressive symptoms Anxiety Sleep problems Perceived need for psychological support PHQ9≥15 GAD≥15 few, a lot % (95% CI) Proportion in the whole sample 8.8 (7.6 to 10.0) 8.7 (7.5 to 9.9) 68.1 (66.1 to 70.1) 12.2 (10.8 to 13.6) Row % Gender: (P
