Abstract
CARE OF PATIENTS WITH MENTAL ILLNESS AND SARS-COV-2 INFECTION AT THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY AND PSYCHOTHERAPY LMU MUNICH, GERMANY : People with mental illness are particularly at risk in the event of a SARS-CoV-2 infection. In order to ensure their care, a 5-stage pandemic plan has been drawn up in the Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at LMU Munich. This includes, among other things, which patients can be treated in the clinic, how registration is carried out, how the diagnosis is carried out and which treatment strategies are available. Predictors for severe disease progression are mentioned, as well as criteria for a transfer to intensive care unit. It is discussed when coercive measures are permitted in the treatment of patients with mental illness and SARS-CoV-2 infection.Entities:
