TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Suicide attempt as the presenting symptom in a patient with CoViD-19: a case report from the United States JO - Case reports in psychiatry A1 - Telles-Garcia, Nelson A1 - Zahrli, Tyler A1 - Aggarwal, Gaurav A1 - Bansal, Sakshi A1 - Richards, Leonard A1 - Aggarwal, Saurabh SP - e8897454 EP - e8897454 VL - 2020 IS - N2 - Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has attained a pandemic status and is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Social isolation, fear of ostracization, and illness itself and limited access to care can lead to worsening of mental illnesses. We report a case from the United States describing a young male with a suicidal attempt who was subsequently found to have COVID-19 infection. Further research is needed to evaluate potential factors for this unique association.
