WASHINGTON (BLOOMBERG) - Covid-19 survivors remain at higher risk of psychotic disorders, dementia and similar conditions for at least two years
......
While anxiety and depression occur more frequently after Covid-19 than other respiratory infections, the risk typically subsides within two months
......
In contrast, cognitive deficits known colloquially as "brain fog", epilepsy, seizures and other longer-term mental and brain health disorders remained elevated 24 months later
......
The findings, based on the records of more than 1.25 million patients, add to evidence of the virus' potential to cause profound damage to the central nervous system and exacerbate the global burden of dementia
......
Oxford researchers showed in March that even a mild case is associated with brain shrinkage equivalent to as much as a decade of normal ageing.
......
The rates of these problems were similar after the emergence of the Omicron and Delta variants, suggesting that coronavirus infections may continue to spur neuropsychiatric illnesses even when they cause otherwise less severe disease.
