Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This study must be understood considering its limitations. First, this is an internet-based survey in which convenience sample bias may limit its external validity. It does not represent northern regions of the country and, as several surveys of similar method, most participants are white wealthier females. Hence, extrapolations of the findings to other sociodemographic characteristics may not apply. Nonetheless, the sample is from an underrepresented area of the world, in a country with an important impact of the pandemic, which will be useful to compose the assessment of the global mental health outcomes of SARS-CoV-2. Second, all the pre-pandemic information was collected retrospectively. We attempt to minimize this by asking questions regarding current information, such as employment, living conditions and diagnosis, that are not likely be misled by recall bias. Third, it was not possible to evaluate if symptoms are clinically relevant to infer an increase incidence of mental illness. The symptomatic assessment utility lies on assessment of distress oscillation and comparability across the globe, using instruments validated in similar samples and widely used in other studies on the same topic. Lastly, our current findings were able to put some light on relevant variables that, at the initial months of COVID-19 pandemic, appear to have a crucial role on symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and post-traumatic stress. It was shown that self-perception of suffering was hi...
