“…Various lines of research have conducted detailed examinations of the areas and topics that can be stressful for young people [41]. Such topics may be related to areas of development for children and adolescents [21,40]. Therefore, it is important to consider that, throughout their development, children and adolescents are asked to meet demands from the various social contexts they find themselves in [20,42].…”

Psychiatric emergencies have increased in recent decades, particularly with the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, and far too little is known about the backgrounds of these emergencies. In this study, we investigated the extent to which the number of psychiatric emergencies changed during and in the aftermath of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) Tübingen. We considered age and psychiatric diagnoses. Additionally, we evaluated the backgrounds of the emergencies. We applied a mixed- (quantitative and qualitative) methods approach to data on emergency presentations at the CAP Tübingen from the pre-SARS-CoV-2 pandemic period (October 2019–January 2020) to Restriction Phase 1 (October 2020–January 2021), Restriction Phase 2 (October 2021–January 2022), and endemic phase (October 2022–January 2023). The total number of emergencies and those with eating disorders and affective disorders increased, while obsessive–compulsive disorders, expansive disorders and anxiety disorders decreased. The patients presenting in the pre-SARS-CoV-2 pandemic period were younger than those in the subsequent periods. We content-coded the reasons behind the emergency presentations. We also identified four areas of stressors and personality characteristics associated with the emergency presentations. In light of the increasing number of psychiatric emergencies, the long-term aim should be to meet the growing demands and create options for prevention.

“…Troppo presto, forse, per valutare appieno gli effetti dell'isolamento sociale imposto dalla pandemia che, così come ha fortemente ridimensionato gli accessi ospedalieri non-Covid in tutto il mondo, potrebbe avere ridimensionato le richieste di aiuto da parte dei giovani in difficoltà. Dati francesi successivi confermano, infatti, un incremento di 2-3 volte del tasso di suicidi durante l'inverno 2021, con una netta prevalenza delle femmine (3,7:1) e una maggiore rilevanza dei determinanti di disagio sociale rispetto ai disturbi di natura psichiatrica [16][17].…”
