Vadodara: They are slayers of the dreaded virus once who emerged victorious from their own battles, but the renewed spread of the dreaded tentacles across the state has rekindled their latent fears. “What if?” has been making many citizens nervous and facing psychological issues. Psychiatrists say that most of those who have recovered are now dealing with anxiety disorder.
“On Thursday night, I got a call from a 34-year-old woman who has recovered from Covid. She said that she was getting nightmares and couldn’t sleep. I counselled her for a while and asked her to not keep thinking about Coronavirus,” said Dr Yogesh Patel, a city-based psychiatrist.
