description Introduction Throughout this period we were confronted with news and information about the Corona virus and its consequences. Which led to the development of a huge sense of fear among people. Although fear has helped to maintain restrictions, it has also had a significant impact on mental health, especially among patients with a psychiatric history. Objectives In this paper I will highlight the consequences of the nocebo effect of the pandemic among people with a psychiatric history. Methods To complete this work I used medical articles, studies, and specialized information on the subject. Results The pandemic’s restrictions have made it difficult for psychiatric patients to be compliant treatment by avoiding regular psychiatric exams.Isolation and fear of infection has led to new decompensations in existing psychiatric pathologies. Conclusions The exacerbations of psychiatric pathology increased both in number and in their intensity, ultimately determined by the increase in the number of hospitalizations in psychiatric emergencies. Disclosure No significant relationships.
