During this 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pneumonia epidemic, some experts have expressed concern for the mental healthcare of different types of population groups. However, hospitalised patients with severe mental illness are seemingly overlooked. Psychiatric patients are still a vulnerable group who need to obtain more attention and respect, particularly during the COVID-19 outbreak in China. In this commentary, we briefly introduce the situation of hospitalized patients with severe mental illness and suggest some effective measures that should be rapidly undertaken to reverse current challenges.
在2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）肺炎疫情期间，一些专家对不同类型人群的精神卫生保健表示关切。然而，患有严重精神疾病的住院患者似乎被忽视了。精神病患者仍然是一个弱势群体，需要获得更多关注和尊重，尤其是在中国COVID-19疫情爆发期间。在这篇评论中，我们简要介绍了患有严重精神疾病的住院患者的情况，并提出了一些应迅速采取的有效措施，以应对当前的挑战。
