Despite several reports of the neuropsychiatric effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in older adults, only a few cases of COVID-related psychosis have been reported in young patients. This case-based review compares the clinical presentations of 2 previously published cases of adolescent patients who developed psychosis in the context of COVID-related complications with a new case of a male adolescent who developed post-COVID psychosis. A discussion to raise clinicians' awareness of COVID-related psychosis in young patients as well as the need for cautious use of antipsychotic medications in this highly vulnerable age group is also provided.
尽管有几项关于 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 对老年人的神经精神影响的报告,但在年轻患者中仅报道了少数与 COVID 相关的精神病病例。本基于病例的综述比较了 2 例先前发表的青少年患者在 COVID 相关并发症背景下发生精神病的病例和 1 例新的青少年后 COVID 精神病病例的临床表现。还讨论了提高临床医生对年轻患者 COVID 相关精神病的认识,以及在这个高度脆弱的年龄组中谨慎使用抗精神病药物的必要性。
