SARS-CoV-2 and risk of psychiatric hospital admission and use of psychopharmaceuticals: A nationwide registry study of 4,585,083 adult Danish citizens

Conclusions: We found a signal of increased use of psychoactive medication, specifically benzodiazepines, among SARS-CoV-2 positive persons, but the incidence of psychiatric admissions did not increase, possibly simply because of relevant pharmacological treatment, which may have prevented some admissions.
