AB (1) Background: The confinement of the population in response to the COVID-19 pandemicwas related to an increased risk of suffering from anxiety and/or depression in previous studieswith other populations. (2) Methods: descriptive study using surveys (Goldberg Anxiety andDepression Scale) with 808 participants over 18 years of age between 14 and 20 of May 2020 duringthe confinement due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Spain. (3) Results: 63% of the participants were atrisk of suffering from anxiety and 64.9% were at risk of depression. Variables reaching statisticalsignificance were: age (t anxiety = −0.139 and t depression = −0.153), gender (t anxiety = −4.152and t depression = −4.178), marital status (anxiety F = 2.893 and depression F = 3.011), symptomscompatible with COVID-19 (t anxiety = −4.177 and t depression = −3.791), previous need forpsychological help (t anxiety = −5.385 and t depression = −7.136) and need for such help at thetime of the study (t anxiety = −9.144 and depression = −10.995). In addition, we generated tworegression models that estimate the risk of anxiety and depression. (4) Conclusions: more than halfof the participants were at risk of suffering from anxiety and/or depression, confirming the negativeeffect of confinement on the population
