A member asked:

Is it true that if you have mental illness, you're more than 50% likely to get long covid? i saw a news article saying that?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Do you believe what you read in the news or the MSM? I am NOT aware of any relationship between Mental Illness and the risk of Covid-19, and studies of long COVID are often ambiguous. But if long COVID-19 did occur, the emotional consequences would be worse.

This is the deal: Psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, worry, perceived stress, and loneliness, before COVID-19 infection was associated with an increased risk of long COVID, according to researchers at Harvard.
