COVID-19 Concerns and Worries in Patients with Mental Illness

© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York..

OBJECTIVE:  This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lock-down on patients with mental illness.

METHODS:  Patients in inpatient or outpatient psychiatric treatment received a questionnaire, examining psychological distress and psychiatric care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESULTS:  More than half of the patients indicated that the state of emergency had a negative impact on their mental illness. Severely ill patients were more affected.

CONCLUSION:  Patients with mental illness are a particularly vulnerable group in the current crisis. Psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care needs to be adapted accordingly; the specific burden and distress needs to be examined actively in patients from all diagnostic groups.
