N2  - Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) often does not require hospitalization. Various neuropsychiatric findings have been associated with COVID-19 cases that require hospitalization. However, data on psychiatric disorders following outpatient treatment for COVID-19, in cases not requiring hospitalization, are limited. Psychotic disorders are characterized by disturbances in emotion, thought, perception, and speech. There are many causes associated with neuropsychiatric or psychiatric conditions after COVID-19 infection. The clinical manifestations of neuropsychiatric conditions are more frequently headache, migraine   depression, anxiety and panic attack but rarely psychosis can occur, too. In our case, we described an acute psychotic disorder that started during the period when clinical symptoms disappeared after COVID-19 infection. In studies on psychotic disorder etiopathogenesis, COVID-19 infection may also be considered as a contributing factor to the development of acute psychotic disorders. For this reason, I think that reporting a psychotic disorder that started after the COVID-19 infection has passed is important and will raise awareness about the etiology in patient questioning in primary care or psychiatric outpatient clinic evaluations‎.
