Long-term neurological and cognitive impact of COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis in over 4 million patients - BMC Neurology
Egyptian researchers analyzed data from over 4 million people and found that nearly 1 in 3 COVID-19 survivors face long-term cognitive or memory problems, while 43% experience persistent fatigue, revealing a major mental health burden from long COVID.

Starting at 4:15: “I’m becoming a bit of a Covid truther. I think we genuinely saw like an IQ drop across the board just of all the people who got hit with Covid. People’s brains I don’t think work as much or as well as they used to.”
Clinic evaluation of cognitive impairment in post-COVID syndrome: Performance on legacy pen-and-paper and new digital cognitive tests
“Post-Covid cognitive impairment affects daily function and quality of life. • ACE-III fails to detect cognitive impairment in most post-Covid patients. • 89% of patients have impaired attention, executive function, processing speed on novel tests. • New tests are needed for post-Covid cognitive assessment in clinical practice.”

Association between COVID-19 infection and new-onset dementia in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis - BMC Geriatrics
“11 studies (involving 939,824 post-COVID-19 survivors and 6,765,117 controls) were included in the review. Across a median observation period of 12 months post-COVID, the overall incidence of NOD was about 1.82% in the COVID-infected group, compared to 0.35% in the non-COVID-infected group. The overall pooled meta-analysis showed a significantly increased NOD risk among COVID-19 older adult survivors compared to non-COVID-19 controls”
