Desastres naturais como as enchentes no Rio Grande do Sul em maio de 2024 representam desafios à saúde mental dos indivíduos, das comunidades afetadas e dos profissionais envolvidos nas operações de resgate e assistência.

Nesses contextos, os autores César Augusto Trinta Weber, da Secretaria Estadual da Saúde do RS, e Antônio Geraldo da Silva, presidente da Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria, apontam o papel importante da psiquiatria em várias frentes como apoio emocional imediato, triagem de risco e promoção da capacidade de adaptação de indivíduos e comunidades.

Os autores salientam que é crucial a definição de políticas de saúde pública para os próximos 5 anos no mínimo, que enfoquem não apenas os transtornos mentais mais prevalentes imediatamente após o desastre — mas que levem em conta também fenômenos como suicídio (cujas taxas são historicamente elevadas no Rio Grande do Sul), o aumento no consumo de álcool e outras dr**as pela população em geral e a subnotificação de doenças e eventos relevantes para a saúde.

Natural disasters such as the May 2024 floods in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, are a challenge to the mental health of individuals, affected communities, and professionals involved in rescue and assistance operations.

In these contexts, authors César Augusto Trinta Weber, from the RS State Health Department, and Antônio Geraldo da Silva, president of the Brazilian Psychiatric Association, highlight the important role of psychiatry on several fronts as immediate/acute emotional support, risk screening and actions to foster the adaptive capacity of individuals and communities

The authors emphasize that it is crucial to define public health policies for the next 5 years at least, with a focus not only on the most prevalent mental disorders detected immediately after the disaster — but also on phenomena such as su***de (which has historically high rates in Rio Grande do Sul), increases in consumption of alcohol and other drugs by the general population, and the underreporting of diseases and events relevant to health.

A Revista Veja divulgou no último mês os achados do estudo de Marina Vilarim com pesquisadores da FIOCRUZ, UFRJ e Università di Cagliari (Itália) sobre depressão pós-parto na pandemia da Covid-19.

A matéria salienta que o número de mulheres com depressão pós-parto dobrou durante o período da pandemia em comparação com dados anteriores. O estudo mostrou ainda que a prevalência de sintomas em puérperas que viviam em países de renda alta em comparação aos países de renda média e baixa foi semelhante.. “Parece que a pandemia ‘democratizou’ os sintomas depressivos”, disse Marina à Revista Veja.

Last month, Veja Magazine published the findings of a study by Marina Vilarim and researchers from FIOCRUZ and UFRJ (Brazil) and Università di Cagliari (Italy) on postpartum depression during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The article highlights that the number of women with postpartum depression doubled during the pandemic compared to previous data. The study also showed that the prevalence of symptoms in postpartum women living in high-income countries was similar to those in middle- and low-income countries. “It seems that the pandemic 'democratized' depressive symptoms,” Marina told Veja Magazine.

O artigo de Vilarim et al. incluiu 15 artigos, envolvendo 4788 mulheres. Ao contrário de estudos prévios, os resultados não detectaram diferença significativa na prevalência de sintomas em países de alta renda em comparação com países de renda média e baixa. A prevalência geral considerando os 10 países representados nos estudos foi de 31%, mais alta do que em tempos anteriores à pandemia.
Entre os fatores que podem ter ocasionado o aumento de casos foram levantados o isolamento social e a falta de atividades ao ar livre, devido à quarentena; a perda de pessoas próximas e mesmo a ação do vírus no sistema nervoso, entre outros. A oferta de apoio psicológico, mesmo que por plataformas virtuais, é apontada como medida para mitigação dos sintomas da depressão pós parto.

The article by Vilarim et al. included 15 studies involving 4,788 women. Unlike previous research, the meta-analysis did not detect a significant difference in the prevalence of symptoms between high-income countries and middle- and low-income countries. The overall prevalence considering the 10 countries represented in the studies was 31%, higher than in pre-pandemic times.

Among the factors that may have caused the increase in cases were social isolation and lack of outdoor activities due to quarantine, the loss of close family or friends, and even the effect of the virus on the nervous system, among others. Providing psychological support, even through virtual platforms, is suggested as a measure to mitigate postpartum depression symptoms.
