The wide spectrum of COVID-19 neuropsychiatric complications within a multidisciplinary centre.

A variety of neuropsychiatric complications has been described in association with COVID-19 infection. Large scale studies presenting a wider picture of these complications and their relative frequency are lacking. The objective of our study was to describe the spectrum of neurological and psychiatric complications in patients with COVID-19 seen in a multidisciplinary hospital centre over 6 months.

[When burnout sweeps into CMPs].

There have been significant changes in recent years in what psychiatrists are expected to accomplish in CMP [centre médicopsychologique (medical-psychological centre)] consultations. Back in the 1980s, most of the patients seen were psychotic. Then, all of a sudden, psychiatrists began to see a whole new category of cases at CMPs: patients who were exhausted and no longer able to do their jobs properly.

[Transcranial magnetic stimulation used in psychiatry].

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive treatment technique, using electromagnetism properties. It has been used for around twenty years in neurology (treatment of neuropathic pain, certain abnormal movements, Parkinson's disease), and in psychiatry (obsessive compulsive disorder, hallucinations, mood disorders, etc.).
