Neuropsychiatric symptomatology in post-COVID syndrome. Intervention proposal and referral from primary care

SARS-CoV-2 infection is a multiorgan disease with a wide spectrum of clinical mani-festations, including neurological and psychiatric, which are expressed in all stages of the disease and often has long-term symptoms, called post-COVID syndrome. Among the neuropsychiatric symptoms derived from this syndrome, in this article we focus on headache, cognitive impairment, taste and smell alterations, depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. Intervention algorithms for these symptoms in primary care establishing criteria for referral to specialized care are proposed. (C) 2021 Sociedad Espanola de Medicos de Atencion Primaria (SEMERGEN).
