Changes in psychiatric admissions in the first year of COVID-19 in Ontario, Canada
Taken together, these results suggest that the impact of the pandemic on the use of mental health services were symptom-specific, which is likely a result of the heterogeneity of mental health problems within this population. This variation in the changes in psychiatry admissions for patients with different clinical profiles should be considered when preparing for future service interruptions.
