Long-Term Effects of COVID-19 on the Mind and Brain
COVID-19 has potential long-term effects on mental health and the brain. A study suggests that a third of people who contract COVID-19 may develop psychiatric or neurological conditions. These conditions include anxiety, depression, psychosis, stroke, and dementia. The severity of the initial illness affects the risk of developing these conditions afterwards. COVID-19 can act as a major stressor, leading to PTSD and other psychological difficulties.
