Abstract

The world is going through the worst crises since the World War Two.  Covid 19 Pandemics has changed our societal life overnight.  This paper deals with the sociopathological consequences of the Covid 19 pandemics, notably with implications on several sociopathological phenomena such as suicide, alcoholism and violence, especially domestic violence.  Theoretically, the paper rests mainly on the structural and functional theory of societal anomie as well as the contemporary theory of risk society.  Methodologically, the paper will use comparative theoretical analyses, as well an empirical analysis of secondary data concerning the state of these sociopathological phenomena before and during the Covid 19 crises in Macedonia.  The findings presented in this paper will serve as basis for future research in this field, as well as help better understand the sociopathological implications of Covid 19 crises.
