Objective: identify factors associated with stress, anxiety and severe/extreme depression in chronically ill patients. Methods: cross-sectional study conducted in 2020, using the Google Forms platform containing sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, questions on the COVID-19 and the stress, anxiety and depression scale (DASS-21). A total of 1,274 chronically ill Brazilians were included. Multivariate logistic regression model was applied with 5% significance level. Results: being ≤ 44 years old, having a history of anxiety and depression, being an undergraduate student, in social isolation, using sleeping medications, and reducing/not performing study, remote work, and leisure activities have risk of stress, anxiety, and severe/extreme depression. While having cardiovascular disease was protective for stress (OR 0.5; 95% CI 0.35-0.79; p=0.002) and depression (OR 0.3; 95% CI 0.22-0.53; p<0.0001) severe/extreme. Conclusion: despite the risk factors related to the chronically ill during social withdrawal, cardiovascular disease was associated with protection from mental disorders.
