Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been associated with the emergence of various psychiatric illnesses, although very little literature has focused on the effect of COVID-19 on psychosis. Preliminary data have shown possible increases in new-onset psychosis.
Methods: Using MEDLINE, we performed a review of the current literature to identify the mechanisms by which pandemics may increase psychosis risk and generate evidence-based recommendations to control surges of psychosis.
