Psychological Treatments for COVID-19

This scoping review is interested in the psychological treatments delivered to those infected with COVID-19. As such, studies conducted on individuals who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and suffer from mental health symptoms related to the infection will be included. Broadly, these symptoms can be categorised into those related to depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, obsessive-compulsive disorder and trauma and stress-related problems. The selection will not be limited to studies on participants with a diagnosis of a mental health disorder, and any signs of the relevant symptoms will be considered. However, studies will not be eligible if the participants had existing mental health problems prior to COVID-19 exposure since they cannot be considered to be related to the infection. Neurological and other common symptoms of COVID-19 such as fatigue, headache and attention disorder are beyond the objective of this study and will not be included. A detailed list of mental health symptoms of interest is provided in online supplemental appendix 2.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
