Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been found to have a greater impact on individuals with pre-existing psychiatric disorders. However, the underlying reasons for this increased risk have yet to be determined. This study aims to investigate the potential factors contributing poor outcomes among COVID-19 patients with psychiatric disorders, including delayed diagnosis of infection, vaccination rates, immune response, and the use of psychotropic medications.
