Abstract

This dissertation investigates the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in alleviating symptoms of psychosis in individuals suffering from post-COVID conditions, a growing concern given the increasing prevalence of psychotic disorders following COVID-19 infection. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, collecting both qualitative and quantitative data through patient symptom assessments, evaluations of therapy sessions, and long-term follow-up outcomes to comprehensively analyze the impact of CBT on recovery trajectories. The findings reveal that CBT significantly reduces psychotic symptoms and enhances overall mental health, with over 70% of participants reporting improved functioning and decreased distress levels after a structured intervention. Additionally, qualitative insights underline the therapeutic value of CBT in fostering coping strategies and resilience among individuals facing post-COVID psychological challenges. These results are significant in the healthcare context, highlighting the urgent need for effective treatment protocols for psychosis in post-COVID patients, which could inform clinical practices and guidelines. The study underscores the broader implications for mental health interventions, suggesting that integrating CBT into standard care for post-COVID symptoms could lead to improved outcomes and contribute to the development of tailored therapeutic approaches for this vulnerable population. By addressing a critical gap in the understanding of post-COVID mental health issues, this research not only enhances the therapeutic landscape for clinicians but also provides a foundation for future studies aimed at optimizing healthcare delivery in the wake of the pandemic.
