New Study Looks At Mental Health Effects Of Long-Haul COVID

A new study shows COVID long-haulers are experiencing depression and anxiety long after their infection.

Research out last week showed COVID can deteriorate the brain's grey matter and tissues, in parts if the brain that handle processing, memory and emotions.  Now a new study is the first of its kind to look far out at the long-term mental health impact for patients who were bedridden for a least a week with COVID.

It adds to data on long-haul COVID — research that is still in its infancy.

Steve Sechler has physically recovered from a severe case of COVID he contracted in May 2021, but mentally, he still has a ways to go.
