摘要

To the editor,
COVID-19 is profoundly affecting life around the world. Simultaneously, the pandemic has led to psychological responses such as anxiety and depression. Suicide and self-harm are additional detrimental impacts, particularly in the elderly population [1]. As mutations of coronavirus are still threatening in countries worldwide, the long-term psychiatric sequelae of the COVID-19 and the consequent change in suicide rates have attracted growing attention. We highlight this issue by reporting two cases of elderly adults who developed symptoms of depression after the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequently attempted suicide after the peak of the pandemic. Written informed consent for publication of the clinical details was obtained from the patient.
