Resumen |
Suicide increment during and afterwards a pandemic is highly common. This study reports COVID-19 suicide cases in Pakistan for the first time. Most of the suicides occur due to lockdown-related economic recession. Fear of infection is the second suicide contributing factor. Lockdown-related unemployment aggravates the life-threatening situation. |
