Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Despite advances in research on psychopathology and social media use, no comprehensive review has examined published papers on this type of research and considered how it was affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the status of research on psychopathology and social media use before and after the COVID-19 outbreak.
METHODS: We used Bibliometrix (an R software package) to conduct a scientometric analysis of 4588 relevant studies drawn from the Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed, and Scopus databases.
RESULTS: Such research output was scarce before COVID-19, but exploded after the pandemic with the publication of a number of high-impact articles. Key authors and institutions, located primarily in developed countries, maintained their core positions, largely uninfluenced by COVID-19; however, research production and collaboration in developing countries increased significantly after COVID-19. Through the analysis of keywords, we identified commonly used methods in this field, together with specific populations, psychopathological conditions, and clinical treatments. Researchers have devoted increasing attention to gender differences in psychopathological states and linked COVID-19 strongly to depression, with depression detection becoming a new trend. Developments in research on psychopathology and social media use are unbalanced and uncoordinated across countries/regions, and more in-depth clinical studies should be conducted in the future.
CONCLUSIONS: After COVID-19, there was an increased level of concern about mental health issues and a changing emphasis on social media use and the impact of public health emergencies.

摘要：
背景：尽管精神病理学和社交媒体使用方面的研究取得了进展，没有全面的综述审查了有关此类研究的已发表论文,并考虑了其如何受到2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)爆发的影响.
目的：探讨COVID-19爆发前后精神病理学和社交媒体使用的研究现状。
方法：我们使用Bibliometrix（R软件包）对来自WebofScienceCoreCollection的4588项相关研究进行了科学计量分析，PubMed,和Scopus数据库。
结果：这样的研究成果在COVID-19之前是稀缺的，但在大流行之后随着一些高影响力文章的发表而爆发。主要作者和机构，主要位于发达国家，保持他们的核心地位，很大程度上不受COVID-19的影响；然而，在COVID-19之后，发展中国家的研究生产和合作显着增加。通过对关键词的分析,我们确定了该领域的常用方法，与特定人群一起，精神病理学状况，和临床治疗。研究人员越来越关注心理病理状态中的性别差异，并将COVID-19与抑郁症密切相关，抑郁症检测成为一种新趋势。精神病理学和社交媒体使用研究的发展在国家/地区之间是不平衡和不协调的，未来应进行更深入的临床研究。
结论：在COVID-19之后，人们对心理健康问题的关注程度增加，对社交媒体使用和突发公共卫生事件的影响的重视也在不断变化。
