One in three COVID-19 survivors in a study of more than 230,000 mostly American patients were diagnosed with a brain or psychiatric disorder within six months, suggesting the pandemic could lead to a wave of mental and neurological problems, scientists said on Tuesday.
Researchers who conducted the analysis said it was not clear how the virus was linked to psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depression, but that these were the most common diagnoses among the 14 disorders they looked at.
Post-COVID cases of stroke, dementia and other neurological disorders were rarer, the researchers said, but were still significant, especially in those who had severe COVID-19.
"Our results indicate that brain diseases and psychiatric disorders are more common after COVID-19 than after flu or other respiratory infections," said Max Taquet, a psychiatrist at Britain's Oxford University, who co-led the work.
The study was not able to determine the biological or psychological mechanisms involved, he said, but urgent research is needed to identify these "with a view to preventing or treating them".
Health experts are increasingly concerned by evidence of higher risks of brain and mental health disorders among COVID-19 survivors. A previous study by the same researchers found last year that 20% of COVID-19 survivors were diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder within three months.
The new findings, published in the Lancet Psychiatry journal, analysed health records of 236,379 COVID-19 patients, mostly from the United States, and found 34% had been diagnosed with neurological or psychiatric illnesses within six months.

I’m inclined to two opposing positions:
First, I simply don’t believe this at all.
Second, if it’s true, it just shows me that the lab over in Wuhan was probably not quite complete with their engineering of this virus.
What scare BS.
Deep in the article
“ admitted to intensive care with severe COVID-19”
Not the 99% who had effectively the flu.
Misleading headline. Shocker, I know. Read my post above.
Both my wife and I have had the Schezwan Sniffles, and for several weeks after recovery we’ve both had like a brain fog where we would be doing something and we’d stop what we were doing because we forgot.
She’s currently on anti-anxiety meds (not sure if it’s covid related, or just too much stress at work)
SSDI attorneys are going to have a field day.
Thanks. I thought that some digging might turn that up.
even without having the china virus one can have anxiety and depression.
seeing masked people all the time and the lockdowns are cause enough.
From what I understand, being placed on a ventilator is a highly traumatic experience, often requiring drugs to suppress the experience and memory of it.
If this article is even slightly true, then I bet that is the largest factor.
Folks who survive an injection-related death of a loved one or spouse will also have issues. So might those who caused it.
Maybe I will get injected with the biological serum that induces corona protein spikes on my cells so I will get corona anitbodies.
A third...well, a wee bit more than a third of the country- about 36% suffers from the mental disorder of chronic leftism. So it’s to be expected that the far left third of covid survivors suffer from it, too.
What are you talking about?
Likely waaayy higher in NY. By-product of kooks on the loose (democraps) spawning at excessive uncontrolled hedonism rate.
Wish they’d polled non-covid sufferers.
Lockdowns and distancing have been a pain to all.
BS
Post ICU PTSD is a very real thing. We have changes a lot of how we do things in icu based on keening this five or so years ago.
Herein is another reason to vaccinate. Prevention of these and other king haul symptoms. Is not just death, it’s preventing serious disease
Niacin
Was there a control group of people living on house arrest for the past year who did not get infected?
I guess.
I’m no anti-vaxxer, but all the most evil people in the world are pushing the shots.
In the-USA, they are even pushing people who recovered from COVID to get a shot. That’s medically stupid. (And in Israel, illegal.). It’s like they are up to something.
