Patients who recover from the coronavirus may develop a new mental illness, such as anxiety, depression and insomnia, a new study finds.

About 20% of COVID-19 survivors reported psychiatric conditions within 90 days of being diagnosed, the researchers reported. They also found higher risks for developing dementia in patients over age 65.

Anxiety, depression and insomnia were the most common diagnoses, and they were twice as likely among COVID-19 patients. Patients who were hospitalized for COVID-19 faced a higher risk for mental illness as well. In addition, people who already had a mental illness were 65% more likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19 than those who didn’t already have one. Those with psychiatric disorders are more likely to have underlying conditions, such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes, and live in conditions that lead to greater exposure to respiratory viruses.

I had covid-19 in june, now I'm taking antidepressants due to some brain issues after covid... and my neurologist said it's quite common.

For a whole year plus people have been locked up in their home like jail... some losing their jobs and homes, not to mention people dieing.... Of course they are experiencing these symptoms.... They come with social withdrawal

i've never been ill with corona but i have at least two of these disorders... that's fine

YOU DOCTORS AND ALL YOUR NOTHING BUT GOOD NEWS FOR US LONG HAULERS. SMH

Caused by the media.

Perhaps because of the $50,000 average hospital bill?

Doesn't simply living through this virus cause anxiety, depression and insomnia whether you've actually had the virus or not

Everyone has anxiety these days

Unfortunately it is not new. The world is just finally recognizing the importance of treating mental illness

Hmm interesting it must impact gut health

JPaul_Ng I think I would be just grateful to survive it.

Việt Nam chúng tôi giờ chả ai còn quan tâm COVID

Doesn't make any sense to spread such 'may ' and more negativity without any validated fact.

🤣🤣🤣 keep reaching....

Possible iron regulation problem. Iron can influence all those.

حط

I don’t know but I was feeling somewhat forgetful when I was going thru the sickness

I tested positive for three months straight I needed a negative test result in order to go back to work and I still find myself out of breath and experiencing brain fog

Can you just... I don't know... stop talking? 😂😶🤨

Maybe that's what's going on with the president.

😕!

Newsflash: Studies show that the excessive farting can cause depression, anxiety and insomnia in your partner’s life.

Lmao SMH. Who makes this shit up?

Omg....why is depression so a common right now.

This is one of the many reasons we need to be so vigilant.

Fear mongers

Of course they will as a disease that is pretty harmless to most that have had the living daylights scarred out of them is enough to give someone anxiety

How can they tell the difference between that and the anxiety, depression and insomnia that the rest of us experience simply having gone through the Pandemic and this fiasco of an election, but never infected?

Iron deficiency sounds like or iron metabolism problem

🤣🤣🤣 how deep is the bullshit going to get....

All this BS covid scamfkndemic and all the Karen 🐑 is driving me crazy
