Just like a flu

“ More than half of people who received hospital treatment for Covid-19 were found to be suffering from a psychiatric disorder a month later, a study has found.

Out of 402 patients monitored after being treated for the virus, 55% were found to have at least one psychiatric disorder, experts from San Raffaele hospital in Milan found. The results, based on clinical interviews and self-assessment questionnaires, showed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in 28% of cases, depression in 31% and anxiety in 42%. Additionally, 40% of patients had insomnia and 20% had obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms.

The findings will increase concerns about the psychological effects of the virus. The paper, published on Monday in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity, says: “PTSD, major depression, and anxiety are all high-burden non-communicable conditions associated with years of life lived with disability.”

If more than half means 52%, then we must accept the possibility that it is not Covid related.

A lot of people have those. The product of the great society and economy we are part of.

Probably covid accelerates the issues with some.

It does accelerate things with some - to the death.

So if you're a loony, you're more likely to get it bad. Whereas those who are robustly stable will just brush it off.

My client (a pharma company) is offering coronavirus antibody tests to all workers - the aim is to get some idea of how many people are asymptomatic, have non-standard symptoms, or who caught it before it got famous. I've signed up.

I would have thought your employer would be more interested to find out who is currently ill - spreading the virus, rather than who HAD it.

Unless they already know that you all had it and just want to measure the level of anti-bodies those "flu" January 2020 innoculations produce

Reading that I'd have thought it implied that getting it bad turns you into a loony which seems possible seeing as it appears to induce stroke etc.
