A new study shows that people who recovered from COVID-19 had an increased risk of developing mood disorders, substance use disorders, and neurocognitive disorders.

An earlier 2021 study published in The Lancet Psychiatry (236 379 patients diagnosed with COVID-19) found that the incidence of neurological or psychiatric diagnosis six months after getting COVID-19 was about 33.62%, and the risk appeared to be higher among those who had a severe case. Overall, these studies demonstrate the need for mental health support among recovered patients.
