    La pandemia del COVID no solo ha causado daño físico, es importante hablar de la afectación en la salud mental. Cada año se suicidan 800.000 personas, el equivalente a una persona cada 40 segundos. Con el brote de esta enfermedad respiratoria la tasa de suicidios aumentó considerablemente. La cuarentena domiciliaria, aislamiento social o estigmatización de la enfermedad son factores que han disparado esta cifra. Se ha observado una mayor incidencia de suicidios o intención de ello en adolescentes y jóvenes, sobre todo en el sexo femenino.
