Although extensive research has documented the negative psychiatric consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic,, no study, to our knowledge, has examined whether the pandemic may be associated with positive psychological changes or posttraumatic growth (PTG). In addition to increasing risk for psychiatric illness, traumatic events may also stimulate PTG in the form of increased personal strength and appreciation of life, improved social relationships, spiritual changes, and new possibilities for one’s life., Posttraumatic growth is associated with better functioning and greater resilience to subsequent traumatic events in trauma survivors.
