Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper is a brief description of the impact that the SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic has had on both mental health and U.S. Navy policies through the narrative of a deployed enlisted sailor, medically evacuated from Japan. Although the introduction of vaccines and loosening of state-specific mandates have signaled a slow return to our “normal,” pre-pandemic, way of life, there is now an opportunity to look back and understand how the situation impacted the presentation and outcome of certain cases. We believe that the sailor presented introduces a discussion about the impacts of heightened restrictions on some personality types. As the pandemic has continued to impact and reshape every facet of force health protection, we believe that understanding the impact of public health orders on individuals with specific personality disorders or traits will help us provide care and leadership counsel going forward. The discussion within our case report provides insight and an opportunity for healthcare providers to reflect.
