INTRODUCTION: In December 2019, patients in a city in China, Wuhan, began to contract viral pneumonia, a new coronavirus made official by the WHO on January 30, 2020. The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 impacted people's lives in a way never seen before, including the adolescent population. In this context, one of the immediate consequences was the closure of schools. Given this, there is an urgent need to address the repercussions on the mental health of the adolescent population attending high school. METHODOLOGY: This was a qualitative descriptive study that involved a literature review and field research. A survey of articles, collections and complete works that were in accordance with the theme of the study was carried out and the field research was carried out in a high school in the eastern region of Goiânia where questionnaires were applied to adolescents to identify aspects related to the impacts on mental health in the period of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. RESULTS: A profile related to adolescents was found, which concentrated 16-year-old students (53.8%) female (65.4%) with an income of 1 to 2 minimum wages (46.2%). When asked how the pandemic affected their learning, 80.8% responded that they felt affected in some way. As for behavior, 57.7% responded that they returned to school with behavior of shyness, insecurity and irritability. CONCLUSION: In summary, the pandemic's repercussions on adolescents' mental health were negative, with social distancing being the main aggravating factor.
