“In neurology/psychiatry, we would call this Apathy.

Brain damage to the frontal lobe (dorsal anterior cingulate cortex) causes apathy & reduces empathy.

SARS-CoV-2 damages this region of the brain. Every. Single. Time.

More infections = more damage = more apathy.”

Have you developed symptoms of ADHD since 2020? Or has your ADHD deteriorated since 2020? The frontal lobe is the largest part of the brain affected by ADHD, often maturing at a slower pace with disrupted activity & connectivity. Covid damages the frontal & temporal lobes. 🧵 https://t.co/Jhu5XWJjfE— James Throt MBBS, MD, PhD, FRCPath (@JamesThrot) March 3, 2025

We are currently watching what I can only describe as the early stages of Frontotemporal Dementia on a mass scale playing out in real time. The geopolitical ramifications of this are worrisome. I am in no doubt about what I’m seeing. The cause? Ceaseless SARS-CoV-2 infections pic.twitter.com/0X96poRxHJ— James Throt MBBS, MD, PhD, FRCPath (@JamesThrot) March 1, 2025

Covid damages the frontal lobe of the brain.
Covid damages the frontal lobe of the brain.

It’s not “empathy burnout.” It’s Covid brain damage. From neuropathologist: “Covid damages the frontal lobe of the brain.

Many areas of the frontal lobe are essential to the execution of empathy.

Most people are on their 3rd/4th+ infection/s already.

But it’s ‘empathy burnout”’

At least they’re recognising the loss of function I suppose. Many can’t.”

Can I reassert that with SARS-CoV-2 induced brain damage, it won’t be a lessening of intellect that you’ll be seeing first, but behavioural changes such as disinhibition, emotional lability, risk taking & impulsivity.

Brain effects of mild COVID-19 in healthy young adults: A pilot study
“Our pilot data suggests that mild COVID-19 may result in brain pathology and impact neurocognitive function in younger adults in a manner parallel to prior findings in older individuals. Though findings may not generalize to other SARS-CoV-2 variants, larger longitudinal studies of mild COVID-19 should be undertaken to understand the potential clinical implications of these findings over the longer term.”
