Covid: 'Sustained surge' of mental health problems expected in coming years

There was a need for much closer integration between mental health charities, the Health Service Executive, and general practitioners, he said.
Sinn Féin TD Pat Buckley expressed concern that a “tsunami effect” of mental health problems from the pandemic would not be felt for more than a year.
“It’s not today, or tomorrow, or five months’ time, it’s going to be 12 to 18 months when this tsunami effect of Covid is going to hit,” he said.
“ It’s going to hit everybody, to children, to the people who lose their jobs, to the elderly, to the people who have been isolated,” he said.
