In addition to these various damage, the mental health of patients contaminated with Covid-19 can also suffer certain consequences from the long term.
To determine these, American researchers have listed the signs manifested by patients having been affected by previous coronaviruses such as Sars or Mers. The results of this analysis were published in the scientific journal The Lancet Psychiatry In detail, they analyzed data from 1963 studies and 87 pre-publications including 65 independent studies involving 3,559 patients. The studies have been carried out in China, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States.
As La Dépêche reports, several publications on Covid-19 report psychological consequences for patients: signs of confusion, agitation or impairment of consciousness. Consequences that could be directly linked to the decrease in the amount of oxygen reaching the brain. In some cases, these manifestations may also reflect direct damage to the central nervous system. “Data-reactid =” 24 “> In France, more than 143,000 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed. Cardiovascular complications, scars on the lungs, renal damage , for severely affected patients, the consequences can be manifold, and in addition to these various disorders, the mental health of patients contaminated with Covid-19 may also suffer certain long-term consequences.

Citing other studies, researchers also report depression (11%), insomnia (12%), anxiety (12%), irritability (13%), memory impairment (19 %), fatigue (19%) and frequent reminders of traumatic memories (30%). These signs can appear over a period ranging from 6 weeks to 39 months. “data-reactid =” 26 “>”Although there is little evidence to suggest that common mental illnesses beyond short-term delirium are a hallmark of Covid-19 infection, clinicians should watch for the possibility that common mental disorders such as depression , anxiety, fatigue and post-traumatic stress can develop in the weeks and months after a serious infection has healed, as has been observed with SARS and MERS”Said Dr. Jonathan Rogers, researcher at University College London and co-author of the study in comments reported by the daily.

For patients with Sars and the Seas, one in three hospitalized cases described the onset of post-traumatic stress disorder. A year after the disease, 15% of patients reported the appearance of depression and anxiety and as many complained of fatigue, stress, sleep disturbances and mood swings.
