Abstract Some psychosomatic diseases, like Tako‐tsubo cardiomyopathy, may occur because of exposure to a stressful event like COVID‐19. The simultaneous development of psychosis and Tako‐tsubo cardiomyopathy suggests a field of vulnerability. Specific measures need to be taken to help vulnerable people to manage these stressful events.
