According to a survey carried out in Colombia between July and September 2020, more than two out of 10 respondents with elementary, secondary, or technical education expressed having feelings of sadness during the seven days before the survey. Interviewees with higher (university) education were the least likely to report such feelings in the period. At the time, nervousness was the main potential symptom of mental health issues experienced by Colombians.
