The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak is putting healthcare
professionals, especially those in the frontline, under extreme pressures, with a
high risk of experiencing physical exhaustion, psychological disturbances,
stigmatization, insomnia, depression and anxiety. We report the case of a general
practitioner, without relevant somatic or psychiatric history that experienced a
"brief reactive psychosis (298.8)" under stressful circumstances derived from
COVID-19. She presented with delusional ideas of catastrophe regarding the
current pandemic situation, delusions of self-reference, surveillance and
persecution, with high affective and behavioural involvement. Physical
examination and all further additional investigations did not reveal any
secondary causes. She was administered olanzapine 10 mg with significant
psychopathological improvement being later discharged with indications to
maintain the treatment. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of
severe mental illness in a healthcare professional without previous psychiatric
history due to COVID-19 outbreak. Around 85% of patients presenting a brief
psychotic disorder will develop a potentially disabling serious psychotic illness
in the long-term. This case represents the potentially serious mental health
consequences on healthcare professionals throughout the COVID-19 crisis and
emphasizes the need to implement urgent measures to maintain staff mental health
during the current pandemic.
