Many COVID-19 survivors are likely to be at greater risk of developing mental illness, psychiatrists said on Monday, after a large study found 20% of those infected with the coronavirus are diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder within 90 days.

Anxiety, depression and insomnia were most common among recovered COVID-19 patients in the study who developed mental health problems. The researchers from Britain's Oxford University also found significantly higher risks of dementia, a brain impairment condition.

"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," said Paul Harrison, a professor of psychiatry at Oxford.

The study, published in The Lancet Psychiatry journal, analysed electronic health records of 69 million people in the United States, including more than 62,000 cases of COVID-19. The findings are likely to be the same for those afflicted by COVID-19 worldwide, the researchers said

In the three months following testing positive for COVID-19, 1 in 5 survivors were recorded as having a first time diagnosis of anxiety, depression or insomnia. This was about twice as likely as for other groups of patients in the same period, the researchers said.

The study also found that people with a pre-existing mental illness were 65% more likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19 than those without.

Yeah and that has nothing to do with the fact that the country has been locked down for 7-8 months.

Maybe this has to due with the fact that we can't do shite anymore and have been locked in and told what to do for 8 months. People are losing their businesses, kids can't go to school properly, you name it.

Probably has a lot to do with tens of millions of people out of jobs, worried about how to pay for their homes or take care of their families...and just happened to get COVID.

Probably also has nothing to do with the negative outcomes that seems to be the main style of reporting these days.

I mean, if you keep hearing about long-term effects and how people might not get better or might get sick again, and you get that illness, you might get depressed or be worried too.

Is insomnia considered a mental illness?

People who are forced to lock down in their homes, avoid interactions with anyone but their immediate families, and wear face diapers whenever they step outside the house may become depressed?



this is so fricking stupid

1 in 5 people probably developed anxiety, depression and insomnia from being locked down, unemployed and home schooling kids. Maybe more
