Getting sick from Covid 19 is bad enough. What if you’re one of the unlucky people who experience what is called long Covid? It’s a medley of symptoms that can occur months, and even years, after recovering from Covid, according to a new study of more than 1 million people from eight countries, reported CNN. Adult risk of developing seizure disorders, brain fog, dementia and other mental health conditions remain high two years after recovering from Covid 19, the study found. “These are important findings, but they shouldn’t lead to panic,” said coauthor Paul Harrison, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Oxford in the UK. “We’re not talking about things that are 10 or 100 times more common. I think the worst odds ratio is sort of two or three,” reported CNN.
Children had an increased risk of being diagnosed with epilepsy or seizures, encephalitis and nerve root disorders, which can cause pain, weakness or loss of sensation in an arm or a leg. There was also a small, but worrisome risk of being diagnosed with a psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia or delusional thinking. “This is an extremely robust and well conducted study, using data from a large sample, and across multiple nations,” said Rachel Sumner, senior research fellow at Cardiff Metropolitan University in the UK, who was not involved in the study. “They can’t think, they can’t breathe. I have one person whose disease is so severe, they basically can’t get out of bed. I saw a person recently who is still not working because of Covid symptoms two years later”, said Dr. Aaron Friedberg, a clinical assistant professor at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, who added that he sees people suffering severe symptoms two years after diagnosis, as reported by CNN.
