Mental health status of Italian elderly subjects during and after quarantine for the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional and longitudinal study

Gianpaolo Maggi et al.

Summary: The study found that older adults are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and anger during the pandemic, with fear of infection being a significant factor in the development of these psychological symptoms. However, resilience in the elderly can mediate the impact of fear. Severe depressive and anger symptoms are associated with more severe cognitive failures, and depression severity may influence the development of post-traumatic stress symptoms in the elderly.

Anger and confrontation during the COVID-19 pandemic: a national cross-sectional survey in the UK

Louise E. Smith et al.

Summary: This study investigated factors associated with anger and confrontation due to COVID-19, finding that younger age, experiencing significant financial difficulties, perceiving a higher risk of COVID-19, and obtaining information from social media were linked to higher levels of anger and confrontation. The strain caused by COVID-19 measures may be ameliorated by increasing support, providing clear messaging on the rationale for easing restrictions, and combating misinformation on social media.
