Core Tip

Core Tip: Studies and reviews have shown the acute psychiatric manifestations in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, and although long term psychiatric sequelae are predicted, there are only few review studies about the long-term psychiatry outcome in COVID-19 survivors. Clinically significant post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and/or depression among COVID-19 survivors during 14-90 d following the diagnosis. Risk of anxiety or depression were higher in patients with more severe illness at 6 mo follow-up, early convalescence, and at 1 mo follow-up. Diagnosis of COVID-19 Led to more first diagnoses and relapses of psychiatric illness during the first 14-90 d after COVID-19 diagnosis.
