Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has raised several concerns regarding its mental health effect on patients with psychiatric disorders and the health-care workforce.1, 2 Worldwide, psychiatrists are navigating a fast, unpredictable tempest, in developing plans to respond to their own mental health needs and those of their country's population.

We are a group of 16 early career psychiatrists connected by the Early Career Psychiatrists Section of the World Psychiatric Association,3 working across different WHO regions in countries (other than China) that have been severely affected by COVID-19. The pandemic led us towards a collective endeavour to share our country-specific experiences, plans, and concerns.
