Abstract
Objective: Discuss neurological and psychiatric disorders in post-COVID-19 patients, based on a narrative review of the topic, relating the affections caused by the virus in the Central Nervous System (CNS) and its neuropsychiatric manifestations. Bibliographic review: Covid-19 is a severe, highly transmissible, acute respiratory infection caused by a new species of coronavirus, called SARS-CoV-2, which has the lung as a preferred organ. In addition, viruses can also penetrate the CNS and cause various neurological pathologies and neuropsychiatric manifestations such as stroke, seizures, encephalitis, anxiety, depression. It is also evident the development of mental disorders that are mainly related to the isolation and social distance caused by the pandemic. Final considerations: Neuropsychiatric follow-up during and after infection by COVID-19 is extremely important, in order to perform an early intervention and thus be able to improve the prognosis of individuals affected by the virus. However, these changes are a recent topic in the scope of medicine and there is still much to be studied by researchers.
