介绍:
Psychiatrists are warning of a "tsunami" of mental illness from problems stored up during lockdown.
They are particularly concerned that children and older adults are not getting the support they need because of school closures, self-isolation and fear of hospitals.
In a survey, psychiatrists reported rises in emergency cases and a drop in routine appointments.
