Psychiatrikē, 12/2022, Volume: 33, Issue: 4Journal Article
We briefly present a case series of six patients hospitalized in the Department of Psychiatry, University General Hospital of Ioannina, between the first (starting March 23, 2020) and the second (starting November 7, 2020) lockdown in Greece who presented with COVID-19 - related delusional ideas. All patients had negative PCR prior to admission and no history of COVID-19 infection.The first three of our cases were admitted during the first lockdown, between March 23 and May 4, one involuntary and the other two voluntary. The first one was diagnosed with acute and transient psychosis (F23 - First Episode Psychosis) and the other two with psychotic depression (F32.3). Three additional patients were admitted voluntary after the end of the first lockdown. One was diagnosed with acute and transient psychosis (F23-First Episode Psychosis) and the other two were relapses of a known psychiatric disorder (Bipolar disorder F31.5 and Psychotic depression F32.3). At follow-up six months after discharge all patients were in remission following antipsychotic medication, among other medicines. These cases reveal that COVID-19 pandemic may have an impact on the delusional content of new or preexisting psychotic disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic.
