During the covid-19 pandemic, mental health services were unable to cope with the high demand from the population, so many people chose to search the Internet for information that could help them cope with the psychological process they were experiencing at the time. The aim of this study was to characterize the global search trend for the term «psychiatry» in the context of covid-19 using Google Trends and Our World in Data.
Descriptive-cross-sectional study on global search trends for Psychiatry in the context of covid-19 under the terms «psychiatry», «depression», «anxiety», «stress», «insomnia» and «suicide» in the category of health, this was conducted over the period 2020-2021 and time graphs were generated.
The term «psychiatry» remained at a consistently high relative search volume (between 60 and 90), with a significant and gradual search in the month of April. The relative search volume for «depression», «anxiety» and «stress» remained constant with some non-significant fluctuations over the period 2020-2021. The term «insomnia» was predominant between January and June 2020, gradually declining in April and remaining constant until October 2021. Finally, the term «suicide» had a fluctuating RBV between 60 and 100 during this period.
During the study period, the topics related to mental health and the speciality of psychiatry remained constant, with some fluctuating, but not outstanding variations.
在新冠疫情期间，心理健康服务无法满足民众的高需求，因此许多人选择在互联网上搜索有助于他们应对当时所经历心理过程的信息。本研究的目的是利用谷歌趋势和“我们的数据世界”来描述新冠疫情背景下“精神病学”一词的全球搜索趋势。
对2020 - 2021年期间在健康类别下“精神病学”“抑郁症”“焦虑症”“压力”“失眠”和“自杀”等关键词在新冠疫情背景下的全球精神病学搜索趋势进行描述性横断面研究，并生成时间图表。
“精神病学”一词的相对搜索量一直保持在较高水平（60至90之间），在4月份有显著且逐渐上升的搜索量。“抑郁症”“焦虑症”和“压力”的相对搜索量在2020 - 2021年期间保持稳定，有一些不显著的波动。“失眠”一词在2020年1月至6月期间占主导地位，4月份逐渐下降，直到2021年10月保持稳定。最后，“自杀”一词在此期间的相对浏览量在60至100之间波动。
在研究期间，与心理健康和精神病学专业相关的主题保持稳定，有一些波动，但变化不显著。
