Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic has a major impact on psychiatry by its social consequences and possible direct effect of certain forms of Covid-19 on mental health. During this crisis, the accessibility of technology meets a state of necessity, which has propelled telepsychiatry from the shadows into the light. The contribution of several technologies (i.e. virtual reality, actigraphy, computational psychiatry) combining clinical data and neuroscience underlines the great neurobehavioural variability even within the same diagnostic category, calling for greater precision in therapeutic offers as suggested e.g. by developments in neurofeedback. The place of intranasal esketamin in the panoply of antidepressent drug treatments for resistant depression has not yet been defined.
