Furthermore, quarantine and isolation of those suspected of contracting or carrying the virus could provoke substantial mental health problems; these situations are known to be linked to acute stress disorder, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, irritability, anger, and emotional exhaustion.5 The National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) is offering psychological counselling for people who are quarantined in Daegu as well as those who have recently returned from Wuhan, and has released guidelines for people with symptoms of COVID-19. Similar to the Korean Neuropsychiatric Association, the NCMH is advising the public to cooperate with the quarantine authorities and build skills to relax during distress—the instructions focus on individual skills and knowledge.
