Welcome to mbctalk,
Corona epidemic has become a problem for more than 2 years. New variants are still coming. During these 2 years, there is a risk of different mental diseases and dementia in patients who have recovered from Corona. This claim has been made by recent research conducted by the University of Oxford.
The research was done on 12.5 lakh people
This research has been done on 12.5 lakh people. Along with this, the ability of the virus to affect the central nervous system of patients was also tested. The research also looked at the global burden of dementia.
Bad effect of Corona on the brain
According to scientists, the brain has been affected even in mild cases of Corona. Two months after recovering from Corona, more cases of anxiety and depression have been seen. According to a study published in the Lancet Psychiatry journal, these people may develop long-term illnesses such as brain fog, epilepsy, and seizures for the next 2 years.
Long covid is a serious problem for adults
According to research, many problems like mood changes, anxiety, and depression have become big problems in adults compared to children in long covid. Max Tacquet, the co-author of the study, says, 'The good news is that the risk of mental disorders after Corona is not long-term and no problems are seen in children.
On the other hand, diseases like seizures and epilepsy are seen for up to 2 years, which is a matter of concern. These problems can damage the cells that line the blood vessels, researchers say. This problem can lead to blood clots, which can be fatal over time
