Objective: This study aims to compare the demand for mental health care in a public psychiatric hospital in Mexico City during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Methods:  An observational and descriptive study was conducted to analyze the demand for mental health care in the hospital during the second semester of 2019 and 2021.  Results:  A total of 5707 appointments in 2021 were analyzed, revealing a significant reduction in demand by more than 50% compared to 2019 (p=0.009). Additionally, there was a substantial increase in the demand for substance use disorders, depression, and anxiety in 2021, with respective increases of 208%, 275%, and 485% compared to 2019.  Conclusions:  The COVID-19 pandemic has widened the gap in mental health care, likely due to mobility restrictions and the closure of mental health units, which may have hindered access to necessary mental health services.]]></p></abstract>
