Abstract

Since Hippocrates, the role of the brain in mental illness has been accepted and Neuropsychiatry has been presented as the specialty integrating psychiatry, neurology, neuropsychology, and neuroscience in general. Considering the patients diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Syndrome in Wuhan, China, which has spread and is considered a pandemic, a summary of the scientific evidence available is made regarding the impact of coronavirus 2019 and its relationship with neuropsychiatric disorders. To prepare it, the search engine Google Academic and the descriptors COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 and neuropsychiatric manifestations were used. Medline, SciELO, Scopus and Medscape databases were used. The general clinical manifestations of COVID-19 and the subacute or chronic psychiatric sequelae are described in relation to infection with SARS. COV-2, which include depression, anxiety and stress related to the pandemic. Emphasis is made on the care needed for health personnel, patients with previous mental illness and chronic neurological diseases, in whom symptoms can worsen and even lead into suicide.
