Psychiatrists say a portion of patients who survive Covid-19 are at risk of mental illness.

According to Reuters, 20 percent of the victims have mental health problems within 90 days, according to a study.

The study, published in the Lancet Journal of Psychiatry, recently reviewed data on the health of 69 million people in the United States, including more than 72,000 Covid-19 patients.

Anxiety, insomnia and depression are seen in most of the recovering Covid-19 patients; Which in turn also causes mental health problems.

Researchers also found that a large number of patients with coronavirus had a higher risk of developing dementia or dementia.

"Many people who have recovered from Covid-19 feel that they are at greater risk of mental health problems, and our research raises the same concerns," said Paul Harrison.

Scientists and doctors from around the world have already identified post-Covid-19 mental health problems and urged to find out the cause, said the professor of psychiatry at Oxford University in the United Kingdom.

Studies have shown that within three months of being diagnosed with Covid-19, anxiety, depression or insomnia occur for the first time in one in five patients.

This rate is almost double the rate at which people with other diseases develop such problems at the same time.

The same study found that people with pre-existing mental illness were 75 percent more likely to develop Covid-19 than others.

Health experts who are not involved in the study also say that Covid-19 has a major effect on the brain and mind and increases the risk of various mental illnesses, according to a study published in the Lancet.

"It could be a combination of the stress and the deadly effects of the epidemic on the body," said Michael Bloomfield, a consultant psychiatrist at University College London.

Simon Wesley, a professor of psychiatry at King's College London's Department of Psychiatry, said the study found that people with mental illness had a higher risk of developing Covid-19, which matched previous infectious outbreaks.

"Covid-19 affects the central nervous system, which can lead to further disorders. This is not the end. Research also shows that people with pre-existing mental health problems are at higher risk, ”he said.
