The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic represents an enduring transformation in health care and education with the advancement of smart universities,telehealth,adaptive research protocols,personalized medicine,and self-controlled or artificial intelligence-controlled learning.These changes,of course,also cover mental health and long-term realignment of coronavirus disease 2019 survivors.Fatigue or anxiety,as the most prominent psychiatric“long coronavirus disease 2019”symptoms,need a theory-based and empirically-sound procedure that would help us grasp the complexity of the condition in research and treatment.Considering the systemic character of the condition,such strategies have to take the whole individual and their sociocultural context into consideration.Still,at the moment,attempts to build an integrative framework for providing meaning and understanding for the patients of how to cope with anxiety when they are confronted with empirically reduced parameters(e.g.,severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2)or biomarkers(e.g.,the FK506 binding protein 5)are rare.In this context,multidisciplinary efforts are necessary.We therefore join in a plea for an establishment of‘translational medical humanities’that would allow a more straightforward intervention of humanities(e.g.,the importance of the therapist variable,continuity,the social environment,etc)into the disciplinary,medial,political,and popular cultural debates around health,health-care provision,research(e.g.,computer scientists for simulation studies),and wellbeing.
