Background: Reports of increasing presentations of new cases of acute psychosis both locally, nationally and internationally during the COVID-19 pandemic, warranted further investigation. International case reports almost exclusively reported only clinical outcome (e.g. remission of psychotic symptoms), and fail to report on social precipitants or social outcomes. This is a common omission when investigating new psychosis cases such as acute and transient psychotic disorder (ATPD). In order to assess social impacts and outcomes, we conducted a rapid review of recent evidence. Aims: To conduct a rapid review of the recent evidence of social outcomes on new cases of psychosis emerging during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Four databases (Medline, Embase, Psychinfo and Cochrane COVID-19) were searched for ATPD, psychosis and social outcomes in adults aged 18+. Duplicates were removed. There were no language limitations. Results: There were 24 papers consisting of 18 original data research papers and 6 reviews. Additionally, 33 papers/letters, reporting on 60 individual cases of psychosis emerging during the COVID-19 pandemic. These two sets of papers were reviewed separately. Many original data research papers and reviews were sub optimal in their quality, with 44% online surveys, with the remainder being routinely collected data. Conclusion: There is a consensus that clinical outcomes of ATPD and other brief psychotic disorders (BPD) are good in the short term. The focus only on symptomatic clinical presentation and outcomes, leaves a gap in our understanding regarding social stressors and longer term social outcomes. ATPD and BPD often may not come to the attention of Early Intervention in Psychosis services, and if they do, are discharged following symptomatic remission. Without an understanding of the social stress factors and social outcomes, opportunities may be missed to prevent increased social disability and future relapse with these presentations.

People with intellectual disability (ID) are much more vulnerable to psychiatric illnesses than the general population and as such the pandemic has most likely affected their mental health. The mental health of patients with ID has been affected due to factors such as reduction in staffing levels due to illness, day services and respite care being closed, restrictions to visits and to going out to public places. This case series explores the mental health implications that contracting COVID‐19 had on five patients with ID attending an intellectual disability psychiatry service and reflects upon key messages for clinical practice.

“…Non-infected patients presenting with acute mental illness during the COVID-19 pandemic often have COVID-19-themed symptomatology, 12,13 such as COV-ID-19-related delusions (such as believing that COVID-19 is a government conspiracy) or a preoccupation with COVID-19 exacerbating their anxiety. In a retrospective study investigating patients admitted to acute mental health wards during a four week period in April-May 2020, Abbas and colleagues 13 observed that 31% of admitted patients exhibited psychiatric symptoms related to COVID-19 and/or the related lockdown measures.…”
