The article you linked is actually a decent summary of the issue - I found a large study on which, it seems, much of the article was based. Psychiatric issues happen after CoViD - many of them are fatigue, PTSD-type problems, anxiety. But, 1.4% develop psychotic illness. All of these may happen without CoViD, but stats show that this incidence is high, and the odds are strong that they’re due to CoViD. There is a strong relation to the severity of the disease - the highest incidence is among people who needed ICU care.

The treatment for those problems is not different from the usual treatments. Other viruses can also trigger such issues, but CoViD seems to cause more of them. But, again - it depends on the severity of the illness. With CoViD we had a large number of very sick people compressed into a short period of time.

Here’s the big Lancet study - they used info on over 236,000 patients. But… your review article if fine. Pretty solid and more readable.
