This groundbreaking research conducted by Sari Goldstein Ferber and colleagues explores the intricate links between COVID-19-related psychopathology and various mental health diagnoses.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic imposed prolonged social stress worldwide, contributing to substantial psychiatric burden. Prior work assessed impacts within DSM-5 and ICD-11 categories, often yielding multiple diagnoses per individual and complicating care. Aim: To test whether COVID-19-related psychopathology spans multiple DSM-5/ICD-11 diagnoses in a non-random pattern such that empirical analysis of symptom constellations better characterizes the clinical picture, using two independent datasets collected during the first surge in Israel and Italy.
