Coronavirus disease: challenges for psychiatry.
Brendan Desmond KellyPublished in: The British journal of psychiatry : the journal of mental science (2020)
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) presents two urgent health problems: the illness caused by the virus itself and the anxiety, panic and psychological problems associated with the pandemic. Both problems present substantial challenges for our patients, their families, our multidisciplinary teams and our psychiatrist colleagues. We need good psychiatry, now more than ever.
