COVID-19 has been linked to a greater risk of developing mental health disorders, a new study from Britain’s Oxford University states.
The report published in The Lancet peer-reviewed medical journal found that 1 in 5 COVID-19 survivors will receive a mental health diagnosis within 90 days of infection.
Among the most common are anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, insomnia and dementia.
“People have been worried that COVID-19 survivors will be at greater risk of mental health problems, and our findings ... show this to be likely,” Oxford professor of psychiatry Paul Harrison said, according to Reuters.
The Oxford study evaluated health records of 69 million people in the United States, more than 60,000 of whom had been diagnosed with coronavirus. It also found correlations between preexisting psychiatric disorders and an increased chance of contracting coronavirus.
Those previously diagnosed with mental health problems were 65 percent more likely to test positive for COVID-19. A similar correlation exists with other infections, including pneumonia.
Patients already diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, depression and schizophrenia were among those most likely to receive a positive coronavirus diagnosis, the study found.
How convenient.
More people ineligible to own guns.
New category under the red flag laws.
If you’ve had COVID, now you are suspect of having mental illness.
I am actually staggered at how fast the situation in this country has deteriorated. It’s breathtaking in its speed.
All of them apparently.
They become Democrats? No wait, those are zombies.
Just another attempt to get Trump on an Article 25 removal.
This proves getting Covid is good for you as currently 3 out of 5 people are mentally ill so it is curing 2 of them.
Nope, it was an obvious attempt at creating a virus that turns people into zombies. Chalk up the first batch as only a partial success for Umbrella Corp...
Fake news. It’s the Lancet. They’re just trying to stigmatize people who say they’ve recovered... Like Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, etc.
I had a Pneumonia shot while in teh hospital in April getting a Quad by-pass and had a ‘flu shot ‘ last month, so I’m good to go..............
So with 11,000,000 Covid cases in the US that means that there are 2,200,000 new crazy people in the US. I think I have some problems with this study.

And so it begins.
SS1
Or, as here in PA, a majority of severe cases and 80% of the deaths occured in nursing homes where dementia and depression already exist in a very high number of patients.
Just more Wuhan flu panic porn.
But they STARTED out mentally ill...
This BS “study” and article were done/written for the sole purpose of saying Trump is crazy because he won’t accept a fraudulent election.
Plan C will be implemented after January 20 when PDJT is still POTUS.
Yep.
It’s (more) MSM fake news propaganda....used to try to instill (more) fear in the sheeple’s minds.
So basically you’re saying they become Democrats
76 million pretty much
This is total malarkey. The shrinks always try to insinuate themselves into every situation. It is pseudoscience.
All of them!
I think it’s lack of oxygen to the brain from wearing a mask that’s making everybody nuts. I’ve never seen so many stupid people in my life as I have in the last few months
The mental illness kicks in when they start watching the news after they recover.
So, it takes about 90 days. Good to know.
