摘要：The ongoing pandemic has led a large proportion of the global population to confine and socially isolate themselves for several weeks. The main psychological consequences of quarantine have previously been described in the literature: depression, stress, anxiety, and sleep disorders. Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder have also been described as a consequence of periods of confinement, but their emergence is the subject of debate, and the very nature of confinement raises questions about its traumatic potential. We will first study the “confinement event” and how it may or may not lead to symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. On another note, although many studies have described the emergence of psychotic symptoms in various contexts of social isolation or sensory deprivation, no study on the psychological effects of confinement has explored these symptoms in the context of a health crisis such as the one we are currently experiencing. In this article, we discuss the eventuality of experiencing psychotic symptoms during confinement. Finally, we conclude by counterbalancing the negative effects of confinement by presenting some psychotherapies that use confinement and social isolation as therapeutic tools.
