AbstractBackgroundCountermeasures against COVID-19 outbreak such as lockdown and voluntary restrictions against going out adversely affect human stress and economic activity. Particularly, this stress might lead to suicide.ObjectWe examined excess mortality attributable to suicide caused by COVID-19.MethodWe applied the NIID model to suicide deaths from October 2009 through November, 2020 for the whole of Japan for both genders. Effects of the great earthquake that struck in eastern Japan on March 11, 2011 were incorporated into the estimation model.ResultsSignificant excess mortality in suicide was found between July and November in 2020 for both genders. It was greater among females than among males. In total, 1599 excess cases of mortality were identified.Discussion and ConclusionExcess mortality during the four months was more than two times greater than the number of COVID-19 deaths confirmed by PCR testing. Countermeasures against COVID-19 should be chosen carefully in light of suicide effects.
