Many COVID-19 Long-Haulers Report Brain Fog, Insomnia After Six Months

Now researchers are getting closer to an answer. A new preprint analysis, which is still awaiting peer review, found that one in five coronavirus long-haulers people who ve been sick with COVID-19 for roughly three weeks or more experienced cognitive impairment at least six months after their initial infection. For many patients, this brain fog has led to memory loss or difficulty concentrating or making decisions. In some cases, patients have had to take time off work or even file for unemployment. Neuropsychiatric symptoms appear to be a big part of the syndromes experienced by some people surviving COVID-19, Alasdair Rooney, a co-author of the analysis, told Insider.

COVID: 1 in 3 survivors diagnosed with brain, mental health disorder

A massive study conducted during the pandemic estimates one in three COVID-19 survivors were diagnosed with a neurological or psychiatric condition within six months of infection. The study, published Tuesday in the peer-reviewed journal The Lancet Psychiatry, used more than 230,000 electronic health records of COVID-19 patients mostly in the U.S. looking at 14 different brain and mental health disorders. Thirty-four percent of survivors were diagnosed with at least one of these conditions, with 13% of these people being their first recorded neurological or psychiatric diagnosis. Mental health diagnoses were most common among patients, with 17% diagnosed with anxiety and 14% diagnosed with a mood disorder.
