Resumen
(1) Background: The confinement of the population in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
was related to an increased risk of suffering from anxiety and/or depression in previous studies
with other populations. (2) Methods: descriptive study using surveys (Goldberg Anxiety and
Depression Scale) with 808 participants over 18 years of age between 14 and 20 of May 2020 during
the confinement due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Spain. (3) Results: 63% of the participants were at
risk of suffering from anxiety and 64.9% were at risk of depression. Variables reaching statistical
significance were: age (t anxiety = −0.139 and t depression = −0.153), gender (t anxiety = −4.152
and t depression = −4.178), marital status (anxiety F = 2.893 and depression F = 3.011), symptoms
compatible with COVID-19 (t anxiety = −4.177 and t depression = −3.791), previous need for
psychological help (t anxiety = −5.385 and t depression = −7.136) and need for such help at the
time of the study (t anxiety = −9.144 and depression = −10.995). In addition, we generated two
regression models that estimate the risk of anxiety and depression. (4) Conclusions: more than half
of the participants were at risk of suffering from anxiety and/or depression, confirming the negative
effect of confinement on the population
