A new study has experts worried that the COVID-19 pandemic may be keeping people from seeking emergency care for suicidal thoughts.
The study, at one large Ohio health system, found that ER visits for suicidal ideation dropped by over 60% in the month after the state instituted its stay-at-home order.needs are expected to be more acute than ever.
In areas hard-hit by the disease, health systems were flooded, and non-urgent medical procedures put on hold. But even in regions where COVID-19 cases have been relatively low, stay-at-home orders and public fear of hospitals and doctor's offices seem to be having an impact. "We want people to know that we're open and we're here for them," said Fertel, who is director of operations and quality improvement officer for the clinic's emergency departments.
It varies by region, but some health systems have"mobile crisis capability," where providers go to people's homes, Duckworth noted.
