Cover Story: The COVID-19 epidemic has posed great challenges to the healthcare community. The present review of the literature aims to investigate what effects the pandemic has had on patients with schizophrenia, hypothesizing an exacerbation of psychotic symptomatology (positive, negative, disorganized symptoms). The research did not confirm the expected results, showing that there was not any kind of worsening of schizophrenic symptomatology in the study samples. However, interesting outcomes were highlighted, such as a significant increase in general well-being during the early period of the pandemic, especially by women, or an increase in CRP (C-reactive protein) levels in the blood, signaling an inflammatory state. The topic is recent, and these findings leave ample room for further investigation, particularly in long-term longitudinal research. View this paper.
