Abstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, quarantine has caused disruptions to daily social and economic activities. Many people have felt trapped and alone, experiencing rising levels of worry and financial hardships. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic increases depression and anxiety symptoms, as well as suicidal ideas and attempts, particularly in vulnerable individuals. We report four cases of suicidal attempts during the COVID-19 outbreak due to the lockdown and related financial difficulties. Those cases were admitted to a general hospital from April 2020 to June 2020. The patients were all male, had negative coronavirus tests, and committed violent suicides by hanging and slitting their throats. After receiving the appropriate treatment, all cases were discharged from the hospital. The COVID-19 pandemic and its economic and social impacts could result in significant consequences for vulnerable persons. Screening and early intervention play a role in averting the pandemic\'s mental health consequences.
摘要:
在COVID-19大流行期间,隔离对日常社会和经济活动造成了干扰。许多人感到被困和孤独,经历越来越多的担忧和财务困难。大量研究表明,COVID-19大流行会增加抑郁和焦虑症状,以及自杀的想法和尝试,特别是在弱势群体中。我们报告了在COVID-19爆发期间,由于封锁和相关的财务困难,有4例自杀未遂。这些病例于2020年4月至2020年6月入住综合医院。病人都是男性,冠状病毒检测呈阴性,并通过绞刑和割喉实施暴力自杀。在接受适当的治疗后,所有病例均出院。COVID-19大流行及其经济和社会影响可能会对弱势群体造成重大影响。筛查和早期干预在避免大流行的心理健康后果中起作用。
