ABSTRACT
Suicide increment during and afterwards a pandemic is highly common. The objective of the article was to report the prevalence and epidemiology of COVID-19 suicide cases in Pakistan for the first time. Most of the suicides occur due to lockdown-related economic recession, fear of infection, and lockdown-related unemployment greatly aggravates the life-threatening situation.
