The objective of the research was to compare the anxiety, depression and hopelessness reported by students who suffered COVID-19 and those who did not. There was a non-probabilistic sample of volunteer subjects of 538 students from a bachelor and degree university in northeastern Mexico who had and did not have COVID-19.

El objetivo de la investigación fue comparar la ansiedad, depresión y desesperanza reportada por estudiantes que padecieron COVID-19 y los que no lo padecieron. Se contó con una muestra no probabilística de sujetos voluntarios de 538 estudiantes de bachillerato y licenciatura de una Universidad del noreste de México que tuvieron y no tuvieron COVID-19.  Se encontraron diferencias significativas (p > .05), con un tamaño del efecto débil (d > .30), en donde los estudiantes que tuvieron COVID-19 presentaron mayor ansiedad, depresión y desesperanza. Se concluye sobre la necesidad de diagnósticos precisos para la implementación de estrategias de prevención e intervención aplicadas por especialistas responsables de atender la salud mental de la población juvenil.
