Addressing psychosocial problems associated with the COVID-19 lockdown. Asian J Psychiatr. 2020 May 08;51:102156 Authors: Mackolil J, Mackolil J Abstract The lockdown imposed by the governments of various countries to contain the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is associated with various psychosocial problems. The complications within the family and time management issues that can occur during this time period are explored. The stigma and anxiety associated with the coronavirus disease are also addressed. It is noted that the problems faced by vulnerable communities including individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) tend to be ignored. These crucial areas that psychologists and mental health professionals should consider before providing intervention are discussed. PMID: 32413617 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
