Depression symptoms as longitudinal predictors of the psychological impact of COVID-19 pandemic in hypertensive patients

Abstract COVID-19 has brought considerable changes and caused critical psychological responses, especially among frail populations. So far, researchers have explored the predictive effect of diverse factors on pandemic-related psychological distress, but none have focused on the impact of prior depr...
