Individuals who needed an admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) are at especially high risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, sleep abnormalities, and cognitive impairments (McGiffin et al., 2016) . A recent study in China indicated that 96.2% of recovering COVID-19 patients had significant post-traumatic stress symptoms (Bo et al., 2020) . A recent review of the effect of COVID-19 on the central nervous system indicates that neurological manifestations are present in about 25% of the patients (Asadi-Pooya & Simani, 2020). Neurological conditions including ischaemic stroke and headache are associated with increased suicide risk (Hudzik & Marek, 2014) . Many coronavirus disease survivors will need long-term psychological interventions. ./cache/cord-325784-zs1qmfjy.txt ./txt/cord-325784-zs1qmfjy.txt
