Research conducted by experts at Oxford University Brookes (UK) found that a large proportion of COVID-19 survivors will be affected by neuropsychiatric and cognitive complications.
In their paper, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, these psychologists evaluated published research to better understand the possible effects of SARS-VOC-2 infection on the brain and the extent to which people can experience it in the short and long term. mental health issues.
Researchers warn: coronavirus will cause cognitive complications in a large number of survivors
The study showed that in the short term, a wide range of neuropsychiatric problems were reported. In one study, 95% of patients with COVID-19 had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other studies found that between 17 and 42% of patients had affective disorders, such as depression.
The main short-term cognitive problems were impaired attention (reported by 45% of patients) and impaired memory (between 13 and 28% of patients).
In the long run, neuropsychiatric problems were mainly affective disorders and fatigue, as well as impaired attention (reported by 44% of patients) and memory (reported by 28-50% of patients).
“Understanding the neuropsychiatric and cognitive consequences of COVID-19 is important because millions of people have been affected by the virus and many cases go unnoticed. These pathologies affect people’s ability to work efficiently, to lead, to manage finances, to make informed decisions and to participate in daily family activities. If only a fraction of patients suffer from neuropsychiatric complications, the impact on public health services could be significant, ”explains one of the authors of this research, Sanjay Kumar, senior lecturer in psychology at Oxford Brookes University, UK.
