Levels and predictors of depression, anxiety, and suicidal risk during COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina: the impacts of quarantine extensions on mental health state

Lorena Cecilia Lopez Steinmetz et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the differences in mental health indicators during different quarantine periods and assesses the relationship between these indicators and potential influencing factors. The findings suggest that depression worsens as the quarantine periods progress, and anxiety and suicidal risk show a similar pattern. Factors such as economic income and absence of suicide attempts have a protective effect on mental health indicators, while being female, younger, and having a history of mental disorders increase the risk. Overall, the study highlights the negative impact of quarantine on mental health and emphasizes the importance of considering the duration of quarantine and paying attention to vulnerable groups.
