Data from high and upper-middle-income countries suggest that suicide rates did not increase during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the impact of the pandemic on suicide is complex. Governments and societies must take specific steps to mitigate harm and prevent suicides in the late stages and aftermath of the pandemic.
Emerging data from high and upper-middle-income countries indicate that suicide rates generally did not increase during the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, yet the pandemic's impact on suicide is complex. We discuss the nuances of this relationship, how it may evolve over time, and describe the specific steps that governments and societies must take to mitigate harm and prevent suicides in the late stages and aftermath of the pandemic.
