Lockdowns | Pandemic Life | COVID-19 Infection |
---|---|---|
Not alarmingly affected global population but suicide vigilance is recommended | Global increase in the rates of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic disorders | COVID-19 infection: cognitive impairment and fatigue |
Vulnerable subgroups: autism, pregnancy, homeless | Vulnerable subgroups: OCD, depression | Post COVID-19 condition (3 months after infection): cognitive impairment and fatigue over 2 months |
Risk contexts: domestic violence, intrafamilial child abuse | Front-line workers more exposed, especially health-care workers | Post-intensive care syndrome in intensive care unit survivors: cognitive impairment and mental health problems |
Pandemic fatigue: demotivation to follow preventive measures | Abundance of cross-sectional rather than longitudinal and prospective studies, preventing causal knowledge | Both patients and their relatives (current carers) may be at risk of psychological impact |
