Effects of Isolation on Children

59 views 0 04/16/2020 Janike Pelland

  • Home confinement has negative effects on children physical and mental health.
  • Strategies to maintain a regular schedule and access to psychiatrists should be provided to patients.
  • Pediatricians should review red flags of psychiatric disorders in order to quickly identify and refer children with mental health problems due to isolation.

 

This information comes from two articles published in The Lancet and The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health. It was written by pediatricians from China, based on events seen in this epidemic and previous epidemics. It explains strategies used to prevent mental health problems secondary to isolation.
