Prolonged isolation, fear of infection, frustration, changing the usual stereotype life style, lack of information, loss of revenues, and fear of stigmatization, as well as the disease itself have all influenced people’s emotional and physical well-being. The impact of the viral infection itself on the human body, as well as the perception of a new reality, in some cases led to the formation of reactive, organic, or the exacerbation of existing chronic mental disorders. People with mental health problems are most susceptible to environmental influences and react acutely to rapidly changing circumstances. Often in critical situations, in a state of despair, patients see only one way to solve all problems — voluntary retirement committing taking own life. In this article, we present clinical cases that are descriptive in nature and are intended to illustrate the connection between depressive experiences and suicidal behavior amongst patients in a crisis situation when external circumstances were the reason for suicide attempts: loneliness as a result of restrictive measures, fear of infection or the disease itself, and the reason was a mental disorder that debuted earlier or re–emerged as a result of a viral infection. We have presented three clinical cases. All patients suffered from a new coronavirus infection of various severities and were treated in a psychiatric hospital, where they were transferred from an infectious diseases hospital or hospitalized directly in connection with suicidal actions. In each case, attention was paid to the organizational measures carried out, with an emphasis on the need for earlier screening of mental disorders, prevention of suicidal behavior in providing assistance to this contingent, and the development of the interaction between general medical and psychiatric services by the type of integrative care. The study is of interest to a wide range of specialists providing care to patients with COVID-19 or similar pathologies.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Повсеместное распространение коронавирусной инфекции привело к возникновению значительных изменений в жизни людей. Длительная изоляция, страх инфицирования, разочарование, изменение привычного образа жизни, дефицит информации, денежные потери и боязнь стигматизации, а также само заболевание — все эти факторы оказали влияние на эмоциональное и физическое благополучие людей. Воздействие самой вирусной инфекции на организм человека, а также восприятие новой реальности в ряде случаев приводили к формированию реактивных, органических или обострению имеющихся хронических психических расстройств. Лица, имеющие проблемы в области психического здоровья, наиболее подвержены влиянию окружающей среды и остро реагируют на быстро меняющиеся обстоятельства. Часто в критических ситуациях, в состоянии безысходности пациенты видят только один способ разрешения всех проблем — добровольный уход из жизни. В данной статье нами представлены клинические случаи, которые носят описательный характер и направлены на иллюстрацию связи депрессивных переживаний и суицидального поведения пациентов в ситуации кризиса. Когда поводом для попыток самоубийства явились внешние обстоятельства: одиночество в результате ограничительных мероприятий, страх заражения или сама болезнь, а причиной — дебютировавшее ранее или вновь возникшее вследствие вирусной инфекции психическое расстройство. Нами представлено три клинических случая. Все пациенты страдали новой коронавирусной инфекцией различной степени тяжести и проходили лечение в психиатрическом стационаре, куда были переведены из инфекционной больницы или госпитализированы напрямую в связи с суицидальными действиями. В каждом конкретном случае уделялось внимание проведенным организационным мероприятиям с акцентом на необходимость осуществления более раннего скрининга психических расстройств, профилактики суицидального поведения при оказании помощи данному контингенту, развития взаимодействия между общемедицинской и психиатрической службами по типу интегративной помощи. Исследование представляет интерес для широкого круга специалистов, оказывающих помощь пациентам с COVID-19 или аналогичной патологией.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>suicide attempt</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>new coronavirus infection</kwd><kwd>mental disorders</kwd><kwd>psychiatric hospital</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>суицидальная попытка</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>новая коронавирусная инфекция</kwd><kwd>психические расстройства</kwd><kwd>психиатрический стационар</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Brooks SK, Webster RK, Smith LE, Woodland L, Wessely S, Greenberg N, Rubin GJ.
