Abstract

Background: This brief article focuses on highlighting the importance of possible neuropsychological manifestations among the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) survivors. Studies have evidenced that like other Coronaviruses, COVID-19 is highly contagious and also responsible for the development of mild to severe respiratory symptoms. As COVID-19 is a recently emerged pandemic that has resulted in more than six hundred thousand deaths around the globe as of July 2020 and most of the researches has focused on the physical manifestations. Purpose: The purpose of this review article was to highlight the importance of COVID-19 infection in perspective to mental health in those patients who are survived. Methodology: For this purpose, an intensive literature review was conducted through different scientific search engines including PubMed, Google Scholars, Science Direct, etc. Results and Conclusion: There is very limited data available on manifestations including psychological and neuropsychological. Studies have shown that viral infections including viruses from Coronaviridae have been implicated in the nervous system including the brain. So, it is important to investigate the post-COVID-19 infection in neuropsychological aspects. Such studies will highlight the importance of post-COVID-19 complications and will also help in redesigning the treatment plan for mental health.

COVID-19幸存者和神经心理问题:前进的道路

背景：这篇简短的文章重点强调了冠状病毒疾病19（新冠肺炎）幸存者可能的神经心理表现的重要性。研究表明，与其他冠状病毒一样，新冠肺炎具有高度传染性，也会导致轻度至重度呼吸道症状。由于新冠肺炎是一种最近出现的流行病，截至2020年7月，已导致全球60多万人死亡，大多数研究都集中在身体表现上。目的：这篇综述文章的目的是强调新冠肺炎感染对幸存患者心理健康的重要性。方法：为此，通过PubMed、Google Scholars、Science Direct等不同的科学搜索引擎进行了深入的文献综述。结果和结论：关于包括心理和神经心理学在内的表现形式的可用数据非常有限。研究表明，包括冠状病毒科病毒在内的病毒感染与包括大脑在内的神经系统有关。因此，对COVID-19后感染的神经心理学研究具有重要意义。这些研究将强调COVID-19后并发症的重要性，也将有助于重新设计心理健康治疗计划。关键词：新冠肺炎，神经心理问题，心理健康，冠状病毒疾病19幸存者，抑郁，焦虑，压力引用：Rafiq M，Bashir U，Hasnain J.新冠肺炎幸存者和神经心理问题：前进的道路。Anaesth。疼痛重症监护2020；24（5）：
