According to available data, COVID-19 is often accompanied by mental disorders. The article describes one of such clinical cases. The patient was not previously followed up by psychiatrists. We thoroughly studied the case history and analysed the treatment process of a patient with acute polymorphic psychotic disorder, which developed alongside with COVID-19 diagnosed by means of a PCR test. The article details the onset of the disease, its development, and the dynamics of the results of laboratory and clinical investigation. It also describes the treatment selected considering the fact that the use of psychopharmacotherapy was limited by a serious chronic disease of the patient.
