Abstract

The epidemic of Covid-19 was characterized, from its beginning, by "emergency". A state of emergency enacted by the state authorities to fight, on one hand, against the pandemic as such and, on the other hand, to manage the influx of patients admitted in intensive care. In this unprecedented context, the suffering of the people goes beyond the emergency situation and persists in forms ranging from a pseudo-banality to the complexity of an insidious evolution.

Keywords: Covid-19 sévère; accompagnement psychologique; pandemic; pandémie; post-traumatic stress disorder; psychological support; resuscitation; réanimation; severe Covid-19; trouble de stress post-traumatique.
