CoViD-19 pandemic has created a global concern in the whole population. The psychiatric and social impact of the viral infection is recorded differently by the community. However, more vulnerable individuals with negative psychiatric history are presenting to mental health hospitals for admission, assessment and treatment due to abnormal reactions to CoViD-19 pandemic. The current study reports six clinical cases of first psychiatric presentation that were characterised by sudden onset of symptoms, manic and psychotic symptoms, adverse response to stress, psychomotor agitation and behaviours out of character. The presentation was short-lived and responded to typical antipsychotics and antidepressants. The posed diagnoses were acute and transient psychotic disorder and acute stress reaction.
