“…Long term exposure to stress in individuals with long-term physical and mental health conditions can negatively affect mental health and emotional well-being (61). The majority of the publications in the literature explored the psychosocial effect of the lockdown on the general population (16,62). The RADAR-CNS project offered the opportunity to explore the biopsychological and social impact of the lockdown and pandemic situations on the participants with MDD and MS who participated before and after the lockdown.…”

“…Another explanation might be that increasing social support during the pandemic may have enhanced women's resilience (62). Lockdown measures have contributed to increased social isolation and feelings of loneliness (15)(16)(17)71). This could be one of the reasons why people with MDD showed intensified social activity measured through the social interactions with the apps and the number of contacts across the three periods, especially during the lockdown.…”

“…These negative consequences could represent an even higher toll on people who already had a pre-existing mental illness (13). The psychological effects of "the COVID-19 pandemic reported were a reduction face to face social contacts (14), increased levels of loneliness (15)(16)(17), psychological distress (18), changes in depression levels (7), decreased self-esteem and sleep duration (14,19) and, in extreme cases, suicide (8).…”

BackgroundChanges in lifestyle, finances and work status during COVID-19 lockdowns may have led to biopsychosocial changes in people with pre-existing vulnerabilities such as Major Depressive Disorders (MDD) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS).MethodsData were collected as a part of the RADAR-CNS (Remote Assessment of Disease and Relapse – Central Nervous System) programme. We analyzed the following data from long-term participants in a decentralized multinational study: symptoms of depression, heart rate (HR) during the day and night; social activity; sedentary state, steps and physical activity of varying intensity. Linear mixed-effects regression analyses with repeated measures were fitted to assess the changes among three time periods (pre, during and post-lockdown) across the groups, adjusting for depression severity before the pandemic and gender.ResultsParticipants with MDD (N=255) and MS (N=214) were included in the analyses. Overall, depressive symptoms remained stable across the three periods in both groups. Lower mean HR and HR variation were observed between pre and during lockdown during the day for MDD and during the night for MS. HR variation during rest periods also decreased between pre-and post-lockdown in both clinical conditions. We observed a reduction of physical activity for MDD and MS upon the introduction of lockdowns. The group with MDD exhibited a net increase in social interaction via social network apps over the three periods.ConclusionsBehavioral response to the lockdown measured by social activity, physical activity and HR may reflect changes in stress in people with MDD and MS.

“…In that period, people had experienced two waves of high infection and mortality rates, tight restrictions were still on (e.g., curfew and limited geographical mobility), and the vaccination campaign had started. Full details of the surveys and their sampling procedure have been described elsewhere ( Domènech-Abella et al, 2021 ; Mortier et al, 2021 ). In brief, the eligible sample consisted of non-institutionalized adults aged ≥18 that had no language barriers to Spanish and had access to a mobile phone or landline telephone.…”

Background: Changes in lifestyle, finances and work status during COVID-19 lockdowns may have led to biopsychosocial changes in people with pre-existing vulnerabilities such as Major Depressive Disorders (MDDs) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Methods: Data were collected as a part of the RADAR-CNS (Remote Assessment of Disease and Relapse—Central Nervous System) program. We analyzed the following data from long-term participants in a decentralized multinational study: symptoms of depression, heart rate (HR) during the day and night; social activity; sedentary state, steps and physical activity of varying intensity. Linear mixed-effects regression analyses with repeated measures were fitted to assess the changes among three time periods (pre, during and post-lockdown) across the groups, adjusting for depression severity before the pandemic and gender. Results: Participants with MDDs (N = 255) and MS (N = 214) were included in the analyses. Overall, depressive symptoms remained stable across the three periods in both groups. A lower mean HR and HR variation were observed between pre and during lockdown during the day for MDDs and during the night for MS. HR variation during rest periods also decreased between pre- and post-lockdown in both clinical conditions. We observed a reduction in physical activity for MDDs and MS upon the introduction of lockdowns. The group with MDDs exhibited a net increase in social interaction via social network apps over the three periods. Conclusions: Behavioral responses to the lockdown measured by social activity, physical activity and HR may reflect changes in stress in people with MDDs and MS. Remote technology monitoring might promptly activate an early warning of physical and social alterations in these stressful situations. Future studies must explore how stress does or does not impact depression severity.
