Cognitive and psychiatric symptom trajectories 2–3 years after hospital admission for COVID-19: a longitudinal, prospective cohort study in the UK
“Participants had worse cognitive scores than would be expected on the basis of their sociodemographic characteristics across all cognitive domains tested (average score 0·71 SD below the mean [IQR 0·16–1·04]; p<0·0001). Most participants reported at least mild depression (263 [74·5%] of 353), anxiety (189 [53·5%] of 353), fatigue (220 [62·3%] of 353), or subjective cognitive decline (184 [52·1%] of 353), and more than a fifth reported severe depression (79 [22·4%] of 353), fatigue (87 [24·6%] of 353), or subjective cognitive decline (88 [24·9%] of 353). Depression, anxiety, and fatigue were worse at 2–3 years than at 6 months or 12 months, with evidence of both worsening of existing symptoms and emergence of new symptoms. Symptoms at 2–3 years were not predicted by the severity of acute COVID-19 illness, but were strongly predicted by the degree of recovery at 6 months”

Neurological complications caused by SARS-CoV-2
Very comprehensive evaluation of known neurological damage from SarsCov2:
“The pathogenesis of neurological disorders caused by SARS-CoV-2 involves several mechanisms. First, SARS-CoV-2 could enter the brain through retrograde transmission & hematogenous routes & disrupt brain function & structure, thus causing or exacerbating neurological disorders…”

The brain/neural inflammation that comes after a covid infection can be intense. I was constantly rageful for 2-3 months after my infection. My mom noticed it. She said I was like a completely different person. But that's not the worst part ...

“Their research found patients who had COVID-19 were 60% more likely to suffer from mental health problems than those who were not infected. When hospitalized, the likelihood jumped to 86%.”
Another great thread by Laura Miers:

“An old friend reached out to me today.
He got an MRI showing that his brain aged 25 years. He went for an MRI because his ADHD meds weren’t doing the job and if he went off of them, he felt different, he felt had dementia.

Strange New Symptoms Emerge with Latest New Jersey COVID Variant
More loss of smell and taste, insomnia and pronounced anxiety are new symptoms of latest Covid variant as the virus continues to mutate unrestrained, is neuroinvasive, persists in the body and has multiple effects on the brain:
The new strains of SARS-CoV-2 appear to attempt to silently and quickly infect the neurons in human brains so that hosts would not take preventive measures against any pathogens.

Does Long COVID Lead to Alzheimer's? A New Study Took an Unexpected Turn
“More than one in ten people who catch COVID don’t fully recover — developing a chronic condition called Long COVID which causes a variety of debilitating symptoms, including brain fog. Since some studies have found that COVID infections are associated with overall brain shrinkage, altered brain structure, and an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s, researchers have been investigating the links between COVID and Alzheimer’s.”
