Psychiatric sequelae seen in many COVID-19 survivors: study
Mental disorders could stem from effects of the virus itself or psychosocial stressors of being infected during the pandemic, researchers say
COVID-19 survivors suffer higher rates of psychiatric disorders including post-traumatic stress (PTSD), anxiety, insomnia and depression, according to a survey conducted at an Italian hospital.
The study at Milan’s San Raffaele Hospital showed that 55% of the 402 patients monitored after being treated for the virus experienced at least one of these disorders.
