PSYCHIATRIC Disorders and Covid-19 — PSYCHIC  

Covid19 Clinical Trial

Official title: PSYCHIatric Disorders and Covid-19 (PSYCHIC) : Observatory of the Psychiatric, Somatic and Pharmacological Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Patients Hospitalized for Psychiatric Disorders and Suspected to be Infected by COVID-19

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

Given the possible risks and complications of a comorbidity between psychiatric disorder and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it seems particularly important to specify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in patients with psychiatric disorders and suspected of infection, hospitalized in a specific unit, at the psychiatric, somatic and pharmacological level.

Clinical Trial Description

COVID-19's possible impact on psychiatric disorders has been little studied. However, patients with psychiatric disorders may be at higher risk of COVID-19 contamination, may experience delayed treatment when infected, may have a poor prognosis in terms of complications and success of treatment for COVID-19 but also for the underlying psychiatric disorder which could be exacerbated, and finally their psychotropic pharmacological treatment could be impacted by the inflammatory state linked to COVID-19. The present study is an observatory of patients with psychiatric disorders and suspected to be infected by the COVID-19, hospitalized in a specific unit dedicated to the treatment of this comorbidity in the University Hospital of Nantes (France). The primary objective is to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the level of acute traumatic stress response. Secondary objectives include: (i) a description of the sample included; (ii) an assessment of the clinical evolution of these patients 4-6 weeks after admission; (iii) to investigate the links between the levels of stress, peritraumatic distress, and traumatic stress (whether it is acute or has evolved into a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)); (iv) to investigate the links between resilience and coping on the one hand, and stress, peritraumatic distress and traumatic stress (acute or PTSD) on the other hand; and (v) to measure the impact of COVID infection and of the reduction on the residual plasma concentrations of psychotropic medications (especially antipsychotics and lithium). ;
