Mental health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic: longitudinal analyses of adults in the UK COVID-19 Mental Health & Wellbeing study

Rory C. O'Connor et al.

Summary: The study found that suicidal ideation increased, while symptoms of anxiety and levels of defeat and entrapment decreased during the early stages of lockdown in the UK. Levels of depressive symptoms remained stable, positive well-being increased, and levels of loneliness did not significantly change. Women, young people, those from more socially disadvantaged backgrounds, and individuals with pre-existing mental health problems experienced worse mental health outcomes during the pandemic.

Increase in suicide following an initial decline during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan

Takanao Tanaka et al.

Summary: This study found that during the initial months of the pandemic, Japan experienced a decrease in suicide rates possibly due to factors like government subsidies, reduced working hours, and school closure. However, during the second wave, there was an increase in suicide rates, particularly among females and children/adolescents.

Suicidal ideation and thoughts of self-harm during the COVID-19 pandemic: The role of COVID-19-related stress, social isolation, and financial strain

Eric B. Elbogen et al.

Summary: Research has found that stress symptoms, loneliness, and financial strain during the COVID-19 pandemic are associated with thoughts of suicide and self-harm, while greater social support is inversely related. Public health interventions to reduce suicide and self-harm risk should focus on pandemic-related stress, social isolation, and financial strain.

Self-harm and the COVID-19 pandemic: A study of factors contributing to self-harm during lockdown restrictions

Keith Hawton et al.

Summary: The study found that nearly half of individuals presenting to hospitals following self-harm during lockdown in England were influenced by COVID-19 and lockdown restrictions, with a higher impact on females. Major COVID-related factors included mental health issues, interruptions in services, isolation, loneliness, and feelings of entrapment. These results suggest the need for organized services during such periods and encourage friends and family to support those living alone.

Intimate partner violence under forced cohabitation and economic stress: Evidence from the COVID-19 pandemic

Esther Arenas-Arroyo et al.

Summary: The study found a 23% increase in intimate partner violence during the COVID-19 lockdown, with the impact of economic consequences being twice as large as the impact of lockdown. Domestic violence may significantly increase when the relative position of the man worsens, especially in contexts where that position was already being threatened.
