BACKGROUND: The coronavirus pandemic has changed health care rapidly and
dramatically. OBJECTIVE: To provide a critical synthesis of the scientific
literature on the pandemic's implications for psychiatric practice. METHODS: A
rapid literature review was undertaken to identify scientific literature linking
psychiatric outcomes and practice changes due to coronavirus and the disease it
causes (COVID-19). A structured quality assessment was used to assess those
articles reporting quantitative data. RESULTS: Fifty articles were identified for
inclusion, but only 12 contained original data. Eleven of those twelve were rated
as of weak quality. The literature described psychiatric sequelae of the
coronavirus and related public health interventions through cross-sectional
surveys among different populations; no studies include diagnostic or functional
impairment data. Populations at risk include COVID-19 survivors, health care
workers, the elderly, and those with preexisting psychiatric disease. Impacts on
psychiatric practice were described, again without data on changes to quality or
access of care. CONCLUSIONS: There is a quickly accumulating body of evidence on
the psychiatric implications of coronavirus including psychological effects on
the general public and at-risk subgroups. Similarly, psychiatric practice has
witnessed substantial adaptation to the pandemic. However, there remain
significant gaps in scientific knowledge. We suggest opportunities for
consultation-liaison psychiatry to improve the understanding of the relationship
between coronavirus and psychiatric care.
