there are two urgent mental health crises in Japan, specifically the increase in domestic abuse cases as well as an increase in suicide rates, particularly among women, youth and children.

 

The Japan Times reported that school closures and transitioning to remote work in Japan (steps to stem the spread of COVID) have led to an increase in domestic violence. As more people have been forced to stay at home, victims of domestic abuse are confined to the same space as their abusers. Daily rhythms for parents and children have been greatly altered causing stress and conflict in the home. In fact, according to the Tokyo Shimbun, consultations regarding domestic abuse with national and local governments was up by 60% since the state of emergency declaration2.

 

Suicide, which averages over 20,000 reported cases a year, is outpacing the number of deaths due to COVID, according to CBS News. Michiko Ueda, associate professor at Waseda University and expert on suicide, states, "We didn't even have a lockdown, and the impact of COVID is very minimal compared to other countries … but still we see this big increase in the number of suicides…That suggests other countries might see a similar or even bigger increase in the number of suicides in the future."3
