Psychiatric and brain disease
Covid significantly raises the risk of both psychiatric disorders and neurological diseases such as dementia, brain hemorrhage, stroke, and Parkinson’s.
34% of the 236,379 patients were diagnosed with these illnesses in the months after Covid infection — the first such diagnosis for 13% of them. Researchers note that risks “appear widespread” and “persist up to, and probably beyond, 6 months.”
