COVID-19 has turned the lives of all of us upside down. In the grip of disease on one side and lockdown on the other, we all forgot to live life. Now everyone's life has come back on track. But Covid-19 still has not left us behind. Covid has affected our minds so much that we have forgotten what a normal life is. Now that we are trying to adjust to this new normal, the side effects of COVID-19 are not allowing us to recover from this disease. A study by the Lancet, a leading health journal, has revealed that neurological disorders after Covid-19 can be seen in patients even after two years of recovery from Covid-19.
Yes… we all know how deadly the side effects of long covid can prove to be. The person may never recover from them. In such a situation, recent research has come out that claims that even after 2 years of having Covid-19, a person remains at higher risk of neurological and psychiatric conditions like dementia and seizures.
Know what came out in this study
The study, published in The Lancet Psychiatry Journal, has been prepared after examining the health records of more than 1.25 million patients in total. The study states that people who have recovered from Covid-19 in the first six months after infection are at increased risk of several neurological and mental health conditions. Because in people who are suffering from respiratory problems, the symptoms of depression and anxiety go away late.
Harrison, the study's lead author, said: "The results have important implications for patients and health services, as they suggest that new cases of neurological conditions associated with COVID-19 infection may persist long after the pandemic subsides. can be seen."
How does it affect people of different age groups?
Adults aged 18-64 who had COVID-19 up to two years ago had a higher risk of cognitive deficits, or 'brain fog', and muscle disease than those who had other respiratory infections up to two years ago.
Adults aged 65 and over had a higher incidence of 'brain fog', dementia, and psychotic disorders, compared to those who had previously had a different respiratory infection.
Children were less likely to develop neurological and psychiatric disorders after COVID-19 than adults. They did not have a higher risk of anxiety or depression than children with other respiratory infections.
Different variants have different risks
People who were infected with the delta variant of COVID-19 had a higher risk of anxiety, cognitive deficits, epilepsy or seizures, and ischemic stroke. Also, those affected by the Omicron variant were found to have a lower risk of dementia.
