The association between COVID-19 symptoms and psychological symptoms has not been systematically studied. We investigated the effects of telephonic intervention on the relationship between psychological symptoms and COVID-19 symptoms at the time of hospitalization and 1 week later.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Method:<\/jats:bold> We screened 461 patients with COVID-19 for psychiatric symptoms from February 29, 2020, to January 3, 2021. In total, 461 patients were evaluated 2 days after admission, and 322 (69.8%) were followed 1 week later. To assess anxiety and depressive symptoms, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was administered to patients once per week. The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and item 9 of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-9) were used weekly to assess insomnia and suicidal ideation.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Of 461 enrolled patients, we observed clinically meaningful psychological anxiety symptoms (in 75\/16.3% of patients), depression (122\/26.5%), insomnia (154\/33.4%), and suicidal ideation (54\/11.7%). Commonly reported COVID-19 symptoms are cough\/sputum\/sneezing (244, 52.9%), headache\/dizziness (98, 21.3%), myalgia (113, 24.5%), and sore throat (89, 19.3%). Compared to baseline, significant improvements were found in anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation at 1 week. No significant group differences in ISI score were observed.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> COVID-19 symptoms at baseline had a significant and persistent negative impact on anxiety and depression at admission and at 1 week after hospitalization. Early intervention is essential to improve the outcomes of patients with mental illness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2021.721532","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,17]],"date-time":"2021-08-17T08:46:47Z","timestamp":1629190007000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Associations
