Core Tip
Core Tip: Coronavirus disease 2019 has induced negative emotions (COVID-19), such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, denial, anger, fear, and stress, that affect medical staff, patients, and the general public. Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT)-based psychological intervention is an evidence-based therapy for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. We found that interpersonal IPT-based therapy is efficacious in COVID-19 patients with these psychological problems.
