Psychiatric emergency admissions during and after COVID-19 lockdown: short-term impact and long-term implications on mental health

Julia Ambrosetti et al.

Summary: The study found that after the lockdown was lifted, psychiatric emergency department admissions presented with more severe clinical conditions, with an increase in suicidal behavior and psychomotor agitation, a decrease in behavior disorder diagnoses, and more migrants seeking care.

Sharp increase in depression and anxiety among Brazilian adults during the COVID-19 pandemic: findings from the PAMPA cohort

N. Feter et al.

Summary: This study compared the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms before and during the pandemic, finding a significant increase in these symptoms during the pandemic. Higher rates of depressive and anxiety symptoms were observed among women, younger age groups, individuals with chronic diseases, and those impacted financially by social restrictions. Remaining active or becoming physically active during social distancing restrictions was found to reduce the probability of aggravated mental health disorders.

Summary: Studies suggest an increase in mental health problems from pre-pandemic assessments through lockdown, with no clear trend during lockdown and a slight decrease in mental health problems after lockdown. Factors such as methodological, pandemic-related, response-related, and health policy-related issues should be considered when analyzing the impact of the pandemic and lockdown on mental health in general populations.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stress, mental health and coping behavior in German University students - a longitudinal study before and after the onset of the pandemic

Edgar Voltmer et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic in Germany led to significant restrictions in public and private life, including halting face-to-face teaching at universities. A longitudinal study was conducted to assess the impact on student stress, mental health, and behavior during the pandemic. Results showed that most students in 2020 did not have known contact with SARS-CoV-2, with the majority practicing mask-wearing and handwashing, but showing less adherence to cleanliness and disinfectant use. Despite the disruptions in 2020, mental health consequences were only moderately different from 2019 for the student population at the university.

Trajectories of anxiety and depressive symptoms during enforced isolation due to COVID-19 in England: a longitudinal observational study

Daisy Fancourt et al.

Summary: The study found that anxiety and depression levels decreased over the 20 weeks following the lockdown in England, with the fastest decreases seen in the early strict lockdown period, and symptoms plateauing as lockdown easing measures were introduced. Risk factors for higher levels of anxiety and depression at the start of lockdown included being a woman, younger, lower educational attainment, lower income, pre-existing mental health conditions, and living alone or with children. These inequalities were reduced as lockdown continued, but differences were still evident 20 weeks after the start of lockdown.
