The Psychopathological Impact of the SARS-CoV-2 Epidemic on Subjects Suffering From Mental Disorders: Data From ASST Monza
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Psychometric scale administration for Psychosis;Schizophrenic and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 270 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic may be considered a traumatic phenomenon. In a sample of subjects suffering from different psychiatric disorders, psychopathological status and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms over time are assessed using specific psychometric scales. In a sample of healthy controls PTSD symptoms are evaluated by Impact of Event Scale Revised (IES-R) and compared to patients' scores. We hypothesize that a significant number of psychiatric outpatients have experienced a clinical psychopathological worsening and a greater prevalence of PTSD symptoms compared to the general population. The study of the potential psychopathological changes could represent a useful contribution to deepen the understanding of psychological consequences of the pandemic.
