Possible mechanisms of neuropsychiatric manifestations of COVID-19 include direct injury to the brain through an exaggerated immune response or neuronal infection, hypoxic injury from impaired pulmonary function, dysregulated immunomodulation causing cytokine storms and inflammation, immune cell transmigration into the CNS, interaction of the virus's ACE-2 receptor and spike protein causing vascular damage, autoimmunity through molecular mimicry, and viral latency or reactivation in the brain leading to persistent neurological or psychiatric effects.
