 The study examined the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychiatric disorders among children and adolescents. It was found that three out of four patients who visited a psychiatric emergency department during the confinements continued receiving psychiatric care at the end of 2022. These patients had worse premorbid adjustments and higher rates of diagnosis of neurodevelopmentally disorders and eating disorders, as well as higher dosages of psychotropic drugs. Additionally, patients with internalizing symptoms were admitted earlier than those with externalizing symptoms, although there was no difference between them in terms of attempted suicides. Finally, emerging symptoms of depression or eating disorders after social distancing or isolation were associated with subsequent suicidal behavior in young populations.
