The novel Coronavirus COVID-19 has led the WHO to warn of the risk of potentially disruptive behaviors. However, the association between maladaptive actions and mental health has not been empirically assessed. A national study of 1293 participants from the UK recorded location, underlying medical conditions and non-recommended behaviors along with psychological distress. Elevated psychological distress was associated with living in London, underlying medical conditions and practicing non-recommended behaviors. Findings suggest that medical authorities should address the association between psychological distress and adoption of potentially maladaptive behaviors.

新颖的冠状病毒COVID-19导致WHO警惕潜在破坏性行为的风险。但是，尚未根据经验评估不良适应行为与心理健康之间的关联。一项对来自英国的1293名参与者的国家研究记录了地点，基本医疗状况和非推荐行为以及心理困扰。心理困扰加剧与居住在伦敦，潜在的医疗状况以及不推荐的行为有关。研究结果表明，医疗机构应解决心理困扰与采取潜在的不良适应行为之间的联系。
