Results revealed that COVID-19 patients, when compared to non-COVID controls, manifested higher levels of depression (P < 0.001), anxiety (P < 0.001), and post-traumatic stress symptoms (P < 0.001). The Patient Health Questionnaire, 9-item version (PHQ-9) (Kroenke et al., 2001) , Generalized Anxiety Disorder Assessment 7-item version (GAD-7), Perceived Stress Scale, 10-item version (PSS-10) (Barbosa-Leiker et al., 2013a) , and the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) were used to assess the levels of psychological distress of all participants (Wortmann et al., 2016) . Compared with normal controls, patients with COVID-19 presented higher levels of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms.	./cache/cord-284365-g46myqe7.txt	./txt/cord-284365-g46myqe7.txt
