Sumario:COVID-19 has adversely affected the lives of people with bipolar disorder (BD). We have reported three patients with BD, who suffered from relapse after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Patient X is a 54-year-old man who developed manic episode, while Y is a 63-year-old man and Z is a 52-year-old woman who developed severe depression after being hospitalized for COVID-19. In this case series, three patients with BD who developed manic or depressive episodes during COVID-19 infection have been described. Adequate liaison between consultation–liaison psychiatrist and primary medical team was done. Rational pharmacotherapy along with psychosocial interventions led to favorable outcomes in all three cases.
