Since the start of the pandemic, the incidence of anorexia among teenagers has skyrocketed—an alarming situation considering that 10% of people suffering from anorexia die from complications related to the disorder and there is currently no drug to control it, mainly because the neuronal mechanisms involved have yet to be elucidated. Salah El Mestikawy, researcher at the Douglas Hospital Research Centre affiliated with McGill University, and colleagues from Western University have identified a dysfunction in the brain that may explain some of the more severe forms of anorexia and found a potential treatment.

De nombreux experts craignent une hausse des taux de suicide pendant ou suite à la pandémie de la COVID-19. Plusieurs facteurs justifient cette préoccupation, tels que l’augmentation du taux de suicide lors de l’épidémie de SRAS en 2003, notamment chez les personnes âgées de 65 ans et plus, une détérioration de la santé mentale et des facteurs de risque associés au suicide comme l’isolement, la perte et le deuil, la consommation d’alcool, la violence conjugale et l’insécurité économique.

Policing homelessness, it turns out, is costly. In Toronto, an average of $59,000 (Canadian) of public resources is spent on each homeless person with a mental illness, according to a 2017 study led by McGill University professor Eric Latimer. The research calculated the costs of services including shelters, hospitals and social assistance - but it was policing and court appearances that were the biggest expense, at $12,393 per person.
