World Insight

A 'second wave' of mental health devastation due to Covid-19 is imminent, experts say

Updated October 12, 2020

While the world struggles to manage the initial waves of death and disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, there is mounting evidence accumulating that "a second wave" linked to rising rates of mental health and substance use disorders could be building, according to an article published Monday in the medical journal JAMA.

据《美国医学协会杂志》周一发表的一篇文章，当世界还在为新冠肺炎大流行引发的第一波死亡潮和混乱挣扎时，有大量证据表明，“第二波”心理健康问题和物质使用障碍发病率正在上升。

"The magnitude of this second wave is likely to overwhelm the already frayed mental health system, leading to access problems, particularly for the most vulnerable persons."

“第二波”强度之大，有可能压倒本就不堪重负的精神卫生系统，导致精神健康服务难以获得，尤其是对最脆弱的人来说。

This second mental health wave, the researchers suggested, will bring further challenges, such as increased deaths from suicide and drug overdoses, and will have a disproportionate effect on the same groups that the first wave did: Black and Hispanic people, older adults, lower socioeconomic groups and health care workers.

研究人员认为，第二波心理健康浪潮将带来更大的挑战，如自杀和吸毒过量导致的死亡人数增加，并给黑人、西班牙裔人、老年人、社会经济地位较低的群体和卫生保健工作者带来更大的影响，这一人群在第一波心理健康浪潮中同样受到影响。

Of central concern, is "the transformation of normal grief and distress into prolonged grief and major depressive disorder and symptoms of posttraumatic health disorder", wrote authors Dr. Naomi Simon, Dr. Glenn Saxe and Dr. Charles Marmar, all from New York University's Grossman School of Medicine.

文章作者，纽约大学格罗斯曼医学院的娜奥米·西蒙博士（Dr. Naomi Simon）、格伦·萨克斯博士（Dr. Glenn Saxe）和查尔斯·马尔马博士（Dr. Charles Marmar）写到，核心问题是“正常的悲伤和痛苦转化 为长期的悲伤、严重的抑郁症及创伤后健康障碍的症状。”
