Psychiatry and COVID-19.
Abstrak
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused major disruptions in all aspects of daily life, from school and work to interactions with friends and families. Mitigation measures also substantially altered the economic environment, with tens of millions of people in the US losing their jobs, and many more experiencing income reductions (through furloughs) or uncertainty about the future of employment and health insurance. In addition, major changes took place almost overnight in the landscape of medicine and medical care, including new policies to reduce social/physical interaction and cessation of many in-person medical visits. Within the field of psychiatry, a rapidly growing literature is addressing the disruption and transformation experienced during the pandemic; more than 1000 publications have already appeared. This Viewpoint describes some of these developments to date and discusses important themes relevant to clinical psychiatry, care delivery challenges, and public health considerations.
