“…Moreover, over the last twenty years, the general emergency world has been confronted with a 150% increase in requests for psychiatric care ( Bruffaerts et al, 2006 ; Denis et al, 2012 ), especially since the global health crisis we are facing. Although, internationally, the number of patients visiting psychiatric emergency departments decreased significantly during the lockdown, studies show a “psychiatric wave” of the COVID-19 pandemic in the post-lockdown period ( Ferrando et al, 2021 ; Flevaud et al, 2021 ). Furthermore, the care of psychiatric patients in the general emergency room often refers to a brief examination or is limited to a short interview ( Baillon, 2004 ; Shattell et al, 2014 ).…”

Crossing the threshold of a psychiatric emergency room is a real ordeal. It is a passage that upsets, worries and sometimes paralyzes. However, it can also become an opportunity if psychological suffering is welcomed, accepted and understood. The welcome is the starting point for care. Our objective is to understand the meaning given to the phenomenon of “being welcomed” by patients experiencing psychiatric emergencies. The research is based on Grounded Theory Methodology (Glaser and Strauss, 1967) to explore and understand the complexity of the phenomenon. The results reveal that being welcomed can be considered as a rite of passage taking place in four successive phases, which are themselves organized into four interactive dimensions. The welcome as a rite of passage constitutes a powerful psychic support which arranges the transitional space in which the individual finds themself, and accompanies the identity transformations, the anguish, and the various sufferings which are not lacking in these moments of crisis.

“…nternational literature indicates that there was a 26% to 60% reduction in emergency visits immediately after the pandemic, especially during confinement periods [1][2][3][4]. Studies on mental health emergencies during the peak pandemic months also demonstrated some decline in numbers of psychiatric emergency visits, though that was proportionate to decline in overall emergency department visits.…”

Objective: To assess changes in profile of psychiatric emergencies in children and adolescents (aged <19 year) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic compared to pre-pandemic period. Methods: The psychiatric emergency records were analyzed for the period of April, 2019 -September, 2021 to assess the pattern and profile of mental health emergencies in children and adolescents in the period before and after the onset of the pandemic lockdown (i.e., 23 March, 2020). Results: 379 consecutive child and adolescent psychiatric emergencies were identified, of which 219 were seen after the onset of pandemic. Commonest reason for referral in the pandemic group was attempted self-harm (44.3%). The ICD-10 neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders constituted the commonest diagnostic category, similar to pre-pandemic period. A significantly higher proportion (44% vs 28%) of children was prescribed benzodiazepines in the pandemic period, compared to the pre-pandemic period. Conclusion: The average monthly psychiatric emergencies in children and adolescents showed no increase during the pandemic period. Self-harm was the commonest cause of psychiatric referral in emergency services mental health crisis in the younger population.

Background& aimes Psychiatric admissions during the covid-19 pandemic were limited ignoring their possible benefit. The study focused on assessing the effect of the fear of covid on the mental health and well-being of inpatients as opposed to outpatients. Methods During the first lockdown, forty-four inpatients and day care patients (inpatient group) and 74 outpatients (outpatient group) were recruited after an informed consent procedure. Fear from the infection was assed using the Fear of COVID-19 (FCV–19S), severity of mental health symptomatology was evaluated with the outcome questionnaire-45 (OQ-45)., wellbeing was assessed with the Psychological well-being scale (PWB). Outcomes There was no difference between the inpatient group and outpatient group in their fear of COVID-19 levels. FCV-19 predicted changes in the outpatient OQ total score (B = 2.21, p < 0.001), OQ interpersonal relation subscale (B = 0.34, p = 0.01), PWB total score (B = −0.05, p < 0.001), PWB environmental mastery subscale (B = −0.07, p < 0.001) and PWB positive relation subscale (B = −0.05, p < 0.001), but not in the inpatient group. Conclusions Mental health and well-being of the outpatient group that had less therapeutic contact –unlike the inpatient group-correlated with the fear of covid. Supporting the hypothesis that intensive psychiatric therapy had a protective effect from the mental health consequences of “fear of covid”.
