COVID-19 associated psychotic disorder with suicidal behaviour - case report

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), emerged in late 2019 (Jakovljević et al. 2020). Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are facing complex neuropsychiatric syndromes (Sinanović et al. 2020), including the first onset of COVID19-associated psychosis, a serious mental disorder primarily characterized by impaired reality testing. The aetiology of COVID- 19-associated psychosis is still not clear and may be multifactorial, including psychosocial and organic factors (Haddad et al. 2020, Jakovljević et al. 2020). This study aims to present the woman who developed psychotic symptoms with suicidal behaviour following a COVID-19 infection and briefly discuss possible mechanisms in light of relevant literature.
