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.
BS
The fertility aspects in men are shocking.
Well probably 1 in 5 would get that anyway, and certainly 1 in 5 American's are lefty pant wetters. So I don't see much meaning even if true.
But we're beginning to see a whole bunch of stuff aimed at making people choose ... 'on their own' ... to take the vaccine, who might not otherwise take it.

So that’s what happened to Boris Johnson.
Mark Stein says Boris has never been the same.
“They are all mentally ill.”
What I see is another trap. Trump had CV so, see he’s crazy!

Dementia? Really?
In other words, public hysteria makes people nuts. Shocking, isn’t it?
Gosh, all the media overhype couldn’t cause anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, could it?
All of guise disorders are do to lock down
They sure kept the fact that Biden had it quiet.
All BS all the time.
Is this true or a bid by some white liberal elite American Psychological Association type group to get BIG GRANT under Biden?
Total nonsense.
(And maybe an attempt to ‘explain’ the crazy US vote results?)...

Usual click-bait headline of the typical press desperate for clicks. I’m sorry, anxiety and insomnia are *not* mental illness. For that matter, neither is mild depression.
Maybe they had the mental illness before they got the virus. About half the country seems to be seriously demented right now.
more fear mongering
Easy way to disarm people.
You had covid, so your are nuts. Give us your guns!
Obviously you are mentally ill! You vill be re-educated!!
