“…Additionally, there was a significantly higher ratio of mood and organic mental disorders during this period. Several studies have indicated that the COVID-19 pandemic had a severe impact on the development of mood disorders [9,[52][53][54]. Our results support these observations and suggest the importance of co-morbid SUDs as well.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been assumed to impact patients diagnosed with alcohol use disorder (AUD). The severity of the influence that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the symptoms of AUD has not yet been revealed in detail. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients diagnosed with AUD. This retrospective study was conducted between 11 March 2017 and 31 May 2022 in Hungary. Medical charts (N = 1082) of inpatients with the diagnosis of AUD were reviewed. Based on the dates of admissions, two groups were created: the ‘before COVID-19’ group (11 March 2017–10 March 2020) and the ‘during COVID-19’ group (11 March 2020–31 May 2022). Chi-square tests, independent-sample t-tests, and multinomial logistic regressions were performed. The occurrence of delirium tremens (DT) and psychiatric co-morbidities was significantly higher during the pandemic. Our results showed that the occurrence of DT and psychiatric co-morbidities significantly increased during the pandemic. Our results revealed that the pandemic enhanced the severe consequences of AUD, and the development of AUD might have increased in frequency among individuals previously diagnosed with mental illness during the pandemic. These findings indicate the significance of dual disorders in the post-pandemic period.

“…While some studies show an exacerbation in NEs following the outbreak (e.g., Cavicchioli et al, 2021), others report no pandemic effects on NEs (e.g., on symptoms of anxiety as in O’Connor et al, 2021). Such inconsistency can be seen in either longitudinal or cross-sectional designs, with some reporting an elevation (e.g., Pierce et al, 2020; UK sample), whereas others reporting no significant change (e.g., Johansson et al, 2021; Swedish sample; Katz & Yovel, 2022, US sample) or even a reduction in NEs over time (e.g., O’Connor et al 2021; UK sample). For example, in their study, Robinson et al (2022) meta-analyzed longitudinal studies on changes in NEs from before to during-pandemic times, and reported a decrease in NEs over time.…”

Objective: This meta-analysis compared negative emotions (NEs) as depression, anxiety, and stress, from before the pandemic to during the pandemic. Method: A total of 59 studies (19 before, 37 during-pandemic, and 3 that included both) using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) were included. A random effects model estimated the means of NEs before and during the pandemic. Results: Studies from 47 countries involving 193,337 participants were included. Globally, NEs increased during the pandemic, and depression had the largest elevation. In Asia, depression and stress were elevated, whereas in Europe, only depression increased, and in America, no differences in NEs between before and during the pandemic were observed. The later time phase of the pandemic was associated with lower stress globally, and lower stress and anxiety in Europe. Being younger was associated with more stress globally, and being older was associated with higher anxiety in Asia. Students had higher anxiety globally, and higher NEs in all three aspects in Europe compared to the general population. The COVID-19 infection rate was associated with more stress globally, and stress and anxiety in Europe. During the pandemic, females reported higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress compared to males, most pronounced in Europe. Conclusion: NEs increased during the pandemic, with younger and student populations, females and Asians having the highest elevations.

Associations between trait and state perceived stress and daily moods: COVID-19 stressful experiences as a moderator

Drastically disrupting daily routines, the global pandemic of COVID-19 has posed critical mental health threats to adolescents and young adults worldwide. Many of the extant empirical findings, however, have focused on individuals’ psychological adjustment during the initial phase of the pandemic. It is less clear how COVID-19 stressful experiences impact young people’s daily lives in the post-pandemic “new normal.” Drawing on 7-day diary reports, the present study fills this gap by examining: (1) how daily perceived stress impacted daily emotional adjustment; and (2) the moderating effects of COVID-19 stressful experiences on these associations among 582 Chinese young adults ( M age = 18.12, SD = .65; 69% females). Results indicated that higher levels of both trait (i.e., average levels) and state (i.e., daily fluctuations) perceived stress were associated with greater negative and anxious moods, and that prior pandemic-related experiences exacerbated the adverse impact of both trait and state perceived stress on daily moods. Specifically, young adults reporting greater COVID-19 stressful experiences demonstrated poorer emotional adjustment (i.e., lower levels of positive mood and higher levels of negative mood) on days when they had more fluctuations in perceived stress; the aggravating impact was stronger when the average levels of perceived stress were higher. By illuminating the moderating effects of COVID-19 stressful experiences, this study contributes to the limited, but burgeoning, research examining the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 health crisis on daily emotional adjustment in post-pandemic life.
