Introduction

Looking at the vast majority of mental disorders in the last year, we noticed that most of them were closely related to this feeling of fear but also to the restrictive measures that appeared with the pandemic. Exposure for a period of more than a year to this mental stress has led to the appearance of a large number of psychiatric patients, especially those who have undergone SARS-CoV-2 infection or who have had close people infected, some of whom have even died.

Objectives

In this paper I will highlight the post traumatic consequences in patients who have gone through the disease.

Methods

To complete this work I used medical articles, studies, and specialized information on the subject.

Results

Patients who have gone through the disease developed sleeping problems, phobias, various anxiety and delusional disorders.

Conclusions

These conditions create the need for a multidisciplinary approach among this particular category of patients.

Disclosure

No significant relationships.
