Was there a control group?
These don't sound like abnormal numbers for any random selection of people in Africa.
Or America.

proxy_user:" Where is the control group of randomly selected people from similar backgrounds who did NOT have Ebola?
BitWielder1 :" Was there a control group?"

I don't recall seeing a control group in the article.
This was a statistical study of the long-term effects of Ebola virus, the aside incidence of reported depression is merely an incidental observation.
The emphasis of this report deals with long-term and lingering physical effects of contracting ebola, and duration of the effects .
