One in 5 Covid-19 patients develop mental illness within 90 days: Study

Many Covid-19 survivors are likely to be at greater risk of developing mental illness, psychiatrists said on Monday, after a large study found 20% of those infected with the coronavirus are diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder within 90 days.
 

Anxiety, depression and insomnia were most common among recovered Covid-19 patients in the study who developed mental health problems. The researchers from Britain's Oxford University also found significantly higher risks of dementia, a brain impairment condition.
 

"People have been worried that Covid-19 survivors will be at greater risk of mental health problems, and our findings ...

show this to be likely," said
