[Neuropsychiatric sequelae of the COVID-19 pandemic]./ Neuropsychiatrische Folgen der COVID-19-Pandemie.

The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on mental health. On the one hand, fears about one's economic situation, own health and the health of others can lead to psychosocial consequences. On the other hand, social isolation through physical distancing can affect mental health. Finally, the infection itself can lead to psychiatric and neuropsychiatric symptoms as part of a systemic manifestation. In this paper, different mechanisms are presented, which can lead directly or indirectly to neuropsychological and psychopathological symptoms in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
