A middle-aged man with no prior psychiatric history developed visual and persisting auditory hallucinations for months after recovering from very severe COVID-19. While hospitalized, he also reported a near-death experience and seeing his deceased father. The connection between the virus and neuropsychiatric symptoms is thought to arise from direct and indirect impacts on the brain. The case highlights the need for research into adequate interventions for severe neuropsychiatric manifestations following COVID-19.
