Cover Story: An infectious disease pandemic can lead to an iatrogenic pandemic of panic or pandemic-related psychological distress in the general population. The objective of this study was to examine factors associated with symptoms of depression and psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic among adults living in China. Symptoms of depression and psychological distress were elevated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing and the amount of time spent daily on social media searching for and reading information on COVID-19 were independently associated with increases in psychological distress. Findings suggest psychological distress is an unintended aftereffect of social distancing. Public health and clinical intervention models are needed not only to mitigate the mental health consequences of COVID-19 but to concurrently mitigate the psychological aftereffects of social distancing.
