Differential impact of COVID‐related lockdown on mental health in Germany

After an extensive baseline evaluation, major life events, micro‐stressors in the form of daily hassles, and mental health status (primary outcome, assessed by the German version of the General Health Questionnaire, GHQ‐285) are recorded every three months using an online monitoring system.

description After an extensive baseline evaluation, major life events, micro‐stressors in the form of daily hassles, and mental health status (primary outcome, assessed by the German version of the General Health Questionnaire, GHQ‐285) are recorded every three months using an online monitoring system. For Groups 1 and 2, the lockdown measures resulted in reduced mundane stress‐inducing factors, such as less commuting or reduced workload. [...]these groups experienced a short‐term reduction of micro‐stressors. The existence of this “vulnerable group” may explain the rise in mental disorders seen in some cross‐sectional studies: while the majority of people cope well with the consequences of the pandemic (at least if the economic impact is buffered against), a subgroup of individuals is susceptible to adversities and develops mental health problems.
