    Area of Science:

    • Mental Health Research
    • Psychiatry
    • Sociology of Health

    Background:

    • The spring 2020 confinement in France presented unique challenges for individuals with mental disorders and their support systems.
    • Understanding the impact of such restrictive measures on mental health outcomes and care delivery is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the experiences of individuals with mental disorders, their families, and caregivers during the 2020 confinement in France.
    • To assess the mental health impact and care received during this period.
    • To understand how caregivers reorganized their roles and faced challenges.

    Main Methods:

    • Employed mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative data collection.
    • Conducted three surveys during confinement, utilizing online questionnaires and semi-individual interviews.
    • Gathered data from 173 family members, 68 service users, and 40 caregivers.

    Main Results:

    • Individuals with mental disorders adapted well to confinement, with no observed psychiatric over-morbidity compared to the general population.
    • Families reported increased psychological difficulties, while service users benefited from remote consultations and professional availability.
    • Caregivers experienced a loss of meaning due to rapid adaptation, and families suffered from a lack of caregiver availability.

    Conclusions:

    • Confinement did not negatively impact the mental health of the studied individuals with mental disorders, who utilized available protective resources.
    • Solitary habits and resource awareness may have played a favorable role, with peer support being particularly valuable.
    • Further research is recommended to investigate a potential "second psychiatric wave" post-pandemic.
