Covid-19, tüm dünyada 21. yüzyılın en yıkıcı psişik, sosyal, ekonomik ve psikolojik krizi oldu. Sadece milyonlarca can almakla kalmamış, arkasında sosyal ve psikolojik bir miras bırakmıştır. Bu derlemede pandeminin psikoloji üzerindeki etkisine kapsamlı bir şekilde bakılması ve psikolojik açıdan iki aşamalı kavram önerileri verilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Literatürden Covid-19'un hem sağlık çalışanları hem de toplum üzerinde psikolojik etkisinin olduğu rahatlıkla görülebilmektedir. Her iki tarafın da farklı türden becerilere ve psikolojik desteğe ihtiyacı olduğu görülmektedir. Sağlık personelinin stresle daha kolay baş etmeyi öğrenmesi ve fizyolojik virüslerin yanı sıra psikolojik virüslerin de yayılması ve oldukça büyük bir psikolojik ve hatta psikopatolojik miras bırakması nedeniyle kendilerini korumaları gerekmektedir. Halk için, insanların ihtiyaç duydukları anda psikiyatristlere ve klinik psikologlara kolayca ulaşabilmeleri ve yeni normalle baş edebilmek için devletin ücretsiz erişilebilecek kurslar geliştirmesi ve sunması faydalı olabilir. Sonuç olarak, Covid-19'un psikolojik yaralarını sarmak ve gelecekte olası yeni pandemileri hazırlanmak için kapsamlı bir süreç başlatılması faydalı olabilir.

Covid-19 has been the most devastating psychical, social, economic, and psychological crisis of the 21 century all around the world. It has not only taken millions of lives but also left the social and psychological heritage behind it. In this review it has been aimed to have a comprehensive look on the pandemics effect on psychology and give two phases of concept suggestions on psychological perspective. From the literature it can be easily seen that Covid-19 has got psychological effect both on medical staff and in public. Both sides need different kind of skills and psychological support. Medical staff needs to learn more easily cope with stress and protect themselves from the viruses but also psychological viruses as it also spread and leave quite a big psychological and even psychopathological heritage. For the public, people need to be able to access easily to psychiatrists and clinical psychologists in the time of needs and get trained to be able to cope with new normal from a governmental free accessible course. In conclusion we need a broader psychological perspective to recover from Covid-19 and prepare to the possible ones in the future psychologically.
