Abstract

As many as one-third of patients who have coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) develop long-term neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, brain fog, psychosis, seizures, and suicidal behavior.1 Several case reports have demonstrated the association between psychotic symptoms following infection with COVID-19 in adults.1,2 In a first episode of psychosis, clinical findings on history, examination, and diagnostic studies may suggest that the psychotic symptoms are due to medical illness, which may be reversible. The presentation can include acute onset, predominance of visual or tactile hallucinations, and association with other neurological symptoms.3.
