冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)大流行的负面健康后果很可能远远超出病毒本身造成的后果--包括严重的心理痛苦。已经患有精神疾病的儿童和青少年可能特别容易受到与大流行病有关的痛苦的影响--例如，由于对病毒的恐惧以及为最大限度地减少病毒传播而发起的重大社会变革(社会距离和隔离)。在这篇社论中，我们(A)从丹麦的一个大型精神病学治疗环境中提供有关新冠肺炎大流行对儿童和青少年的精神病理学的数据，(B)就如何将新冠肺炎大流行对儿童和青少年心理健康的可能有害影响降至最低提供建议，以及(C)建议对大流行相关的精神病理学进行六个系列的研究，重点是儿童和青少年。最后，我们强调政治家、卫生当局和资助机构此时此地支持这些研究倡议的必要性。
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is likely to have negative health consequences way beyond those caused by the virus per se - including significant psychological distress. Children and adolescents who already live with a mental illness may be particularly vulnerable to the distress associated with the pandemic - due to, for example, fear of the virus as well as the significant societal changes launched to minimize spread of the virus (social distancing and quarantine). In this editorial perspective, we (a) provide data on COVID-19 pandemic-related psychopathology in children and adolescents from a large psychiatric treatment setting in Denmark, (b) give advice on how the likely harmful effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of children and adolescents may be minimized, and (c) propose six lines of research into pandemic-related psychopathology with emphasis on children and adolescents. Finally, we underline the necessity of politicians, health authorities, and funding bodies supporting these research initiatives here and now.
