COVID-19 crisis and the incidence of hospital admissions for psychosis in France

CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 crisis was associated with an increase in the number of inpatients with a new episode of psychosis in crisis centers but not in full-time hospitalization. The profile of patients in crisis centers was different from that seen in preceding years and included more middle-to-late age adults. Particular attention should be given to this category of patients in the crisis environment to prevent the occurrence of new cases of psychosis in France.PMID:37748986 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep.2023.08.003
