“…In Mexico there were higher levels of STBs in frontline healthcare workers compared to non-frontline. On the other hand, in Belgium, hospitalization of healthcare workers for being infected with COVID-19 showed a significant association with STBs, which was absent in Spain in a larger cohort study [ 85 ]. A primary analysis of 21 countries (6 high-income and five upper-middle-income countries) to study suicide trends during the COVID-19 pandemic has showed either a decrease or no significant change susceptible to variations between areas in the same country.…”

Suicide, a global health burden, represents the 17th leading cause of death worldwide (1.3%), but the 4th among young people aged between 15 and 29 years of age, according to World Health Organization (WHO), 2019. Suicidal behaviour is a complex, multi-factorial, polygenic and independent mental health problem caused by a combination of alterations and dysfunctions of several biological pathways and disruption of normal mechanisms in brain regions that remain poorly understood and need further investigation to be deciphered. Suicide complexity and unpredictability gained international interest as a field of research. Several studies have been conducted at the neuropathological, inflammatory, genetic, and molecular levels to uncover the triggers behind suicidal behaviour and develop convenient and effective therapeutic or at least preventive procedures. This review aims to summarise and focus on current knowledge of diverse biological pathways involved in the neurobiology of suicidal behaviour, and briefly highlights future potential therapeutic pathways to prevent or even treat this significant public health problem.

“…There are limited data with regard to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on suicide deaths in healthcare workers, according to a systematic review by Eyles et al (2021). Existing literature has highlighted the rates of healthcare worker nonfatal suicidal behavior at different time points in the pandemic.…”

“…Die besondere Belastung jüngerer Menschen fand sich auch in anderen Studien [ 37 ], genauso wie sich wiederholt zeigte, dass COVID-Erkrankte im Vergleich zu Gesunden vermehrt unter Suizidgedanken leiden [ 25 ]. Zur Frage, ob Mitarbeiter aus Gesundheitsberufen vermehrt unter suizidalem Erleben und Verhalten neigen ist die Befundlage hingegen heterogen und unzureichend [ 38 ].…”

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGIm Zuge der COVID-19-Pandemie kam es zu einer Zunahme an psychosozialer Belastung sowie suizidalem Erleben und Verhalten. Eine belegbare Zunahme an Suiziden ist in Deutschland und den meisten Industriestaaten 2020 gleichwohl ausgeblieben, es gibt aber Hinweise, dass es in bestimmten Regionen und Subgruppen davon abweichende Entwicklungen gab. Im Rahmen des Artikels erfolgt eine zusammenfassende Darstellung bisheriger Studien und Metaanalysen zu Suiziden, Suizidgedanken und Suizidversuchen im Kontext der COVID-19-Pandemie. Vor dem Hintergrund, dass das Pandemiegeschehen eine erhebliche Dynamik aufweist ist die Generalisierbarkeit sämtlicher Befunde für den weiteren Pandemieverlauf stark eingeschränkt. Hervorzuheben ist die besondere, pandemiebedingte Belastung von Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen. Abzuwarten ist die weitere Entwicklung bei fortbestehenden Belastungen.
