Abstract:
In the aftermath of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, many patients developed a set of persistent and disabling symptoms, commonly referred to as "long COVID" and defined as "post-COVID-19 condition" by the World Health Organization. The multi-systemic impairments caused by this condition include neuropsychiatric symptoms characterized by the presence of fatigue, cognitive and sleep disturbances, and increased rates of mood and anxiety disorders. Despite their high incidence and a significant risk of chronicity, they remain poorly understood. This article provides an overview of the psychiatric aspects of post-COVID-19 condition and their treatment.
