During the relatively short period of COVID-19 pandemic, we have witnessed numerous psychiatric and psychosomatic problems among patients with this disease and different groups of people and health care staff (1). Growing concerns about the uncertainty of the situation, along with fear and changes in biological rhythm, have played an important role in the formation of psychosomatic symptoms associated with this disease (2). In addition, increased depression and anxiety and decreased quality of life and well-being in different parts of the world, compared to the time before the recent pandemic, have been reported (3).
