description Objective  This study aimed to evaluate psychological distress of persons in quarantine and compare the same with a group of persons, who are currently in lockdown. Methodology  Forty-four persons in quarantine and 45 subjects currently in lockdown were evaluated on Depression Anxiety Stress Scale II. Results  About three-fourth (77.3%) of the participants in the quarantine group and one-third (37.8%) in the comparator group had depression. About one fourth (22.7%) in the quarantine group and one-third (35.6%) in the lockdown group had anxiety. Conclusion  The present study suggests that lockdown and being in quarantine are associated with significantly higher psychiatric morbidity, especially anxiety.
