Brief Summary

The consequences of the Intensive Care Unit and the Covid-19 disease are still uncertain. However, many studies are bringing out often psychological and dramatic consequences for many COVID-survivor patients.

Among the ex-covid patients discharged from our Intensive Care Unit and with at least one covid-related psychological consequence, we want to evaluate the effectiveness for long-term consequences of COVID-19 of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) or usual care.

Detailed Description

Randomized controlled clinical study. All patients who survived COVID-19 and discharged from the intensive care unit of the Lecco hospital will be enrolled if present: chronic pain, anxiety, depression and/or insomnia in pharmacological therapy A group of patients will be observed during 12 months and evaluated with rating scales for chronic pain, anxiety, depression and insomnia.

The second (experimental) group will receive psychotherapy (mindfulness-based stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy) in addition to the pharmacological therapy
