In the time this issue of Archives of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (APP) is released, the whole world is striving against the third wave of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. COVID-19 with its largely unpredictable outcomes became a hard challenge for professionals representing nearly all medical specialities, including psychiatry. The psychological burden of a new disease that took so many lives and left so many people in mourning is not to be underestimated. Scientific literature focused on the recent pandemic is successively growing (e.g., 23,634 unique published articles have been indexed on Web of Science and Scopus between 1 January and 30 June 2020! [1]) and few related manuscripts were already presented in APP last year [2,3].
