Özet

Aim: The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has been a major concern for public health worldwide. Traditional medical practices need to be adapted quickly to meet the needs of vulnerable patients due to the COVID-19 outbreak. One of these patient groups is the mentally ill. Although COVID-19 itself affects mental health, this study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients who were previously diagnosed with mental illness.
