Abstract EN

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.
