According to a new report, some people with zero mental illness infected with coronavirus are experiencing serious psychiatric symptoms.

Dr. Hisam Goueli told theNew York TimesAbout a 42-year-old physical therapist and a mother of four young children who visited his psychiatric hospital on Long Island during the summer, without a history of psychiatric symptoms or a family history of mental illness. Sangling, she told her that she "continued to see her children aged 2 to 10, being murdered at the event, adding that she had a plan to kill them. "It was as if she lived a movie, like" Kill Bill ", Dr. Goueli, a psychiatrist, said." It's a horrible thing that's this well accomplished woman and she's like "I love my children , and I do not know why I feel that I want to decapitate them, "he said.

The only idea of ​​his condition was that she had been infected by Covid-19 in the spring, without light symptoms before psychiatric symptoms later.

Dr. Goueli reveals that she was only the first of many patients he saw with similar symptoms.

"But then we saw a second case, a third case and a fourth case, and we are like", there is something going on, "he said. And, other doctors of the country have reported similar events, including a 36-year-old child who "believed that his three children would be kidnapped and, to save them, tried to transmit them through a fast food restaurant" a 30-year-old construction worker In New York "which has become so delirious that he imagined that his cousin was going to die and, to protect himself, he tried to strangle his cousin in bed" and a 55 years old the old woman in Britain had hallucinations of monkeys and a lion "and became convinced that a family member had been replaced by an impostor."

Experts believe that these neurological manifestations of the virus could be due to the immune response of the body to and to a subsequent inflammation caused by the virus.

"Some of the neurotoxins that are reactions to immune activation can go to the brain, through the blood-brain barrier, and may induce this damage," Dr. Vilma Gabbay, Co-Director of the Institute for Psychiatry Research at Montefiore Einstein in the Bronx said theNyt.

Interestingly, most of these patients have not suffered from a serious initial infection. Dr Goueli says that his patients who experienced these types of psychological problems had no respiratory problem. However, they reported subtle neurological symptoms, including tingling of hand, vertigo, headache or diminished odor.

However, two weeks for several months later, he declared "developing this deep psychosis, which is really dangerous and frightening to all the people around them."

In addition, they tend to be younger than those who fall into the high-risk category, in the 30s, 40 and 50. "It is very rare that you develop this type of psychosis in this period of age," He emphasized.

With regard to the repercussions, some of the people who develop this psychosis related to Covid require weeks of hospitalization and many doctors have trouble treating them. Some are unloaded in a week, others stay at the hospital for months.

For example, the physiotherapist with plans to murder his children "was empire" every day. "We have probably tried eight different drugs, including antidepressants, antipsychotics and lithium. "She was so sick that we were considering electroconvoulive therapy for her because nothing worked." After four weeks, they found a medicine that worked, risperidone and returned home "95% perfect."

"We do not know what is the natural course," Mr. Goueli said. "Does it end up disappearing? Will people better? How long does it take normally? And are you then more subject to having other psychiatric problems immediately? There are just as many questions without answer."
