Coronavirus – COVID 19 disease causes a respiratory infection in humans. The evidence of Coronavirus was found in the year 1965 for the first time. But it was 17 November 2019 when a lady of 55 years was found infected with this deadly virus in China.

The virus lasts only for 14 days in a human body and can also kill the person depending on his immune system. The early symptoms can be detected just after 4 days of getting infected. So, take care of yourself and of your family and follow all the precautions carefully. Near about 37.4Million people have infected till now in the entire world and more than 10,77,082 deaths have been registered.

The authors found that females, especially those with a previous psychiatric diagnosis, scored more on most measures. Younger patients showed higher levels of depression and sleep disturbances. The authors also found that the duration of hospitalisation inversely correlated with PTSD, depression, anxiety and symptoms of OC disorders.

In the cohort of 402, 36 patients had a pre-COVID diagnosis of major depressive illnesses, 28 had a generalised anxiety, 20 had panic attacks, five were bipolar, five had social phobia, three had eating problems and four had other illnesses. These patients suffered a more significant impact on their mental health after they recovered from COVID-19.

The findings are consistent with other coronaviruses studies, where psychiatric morbidities ranged between 10-35 per cent in the post-illness stage.

There are two possible pathways for psychopathological manifestations of the disease, one is when the virus directly affects the central nervous system (CNS) and the other is indirect, via an immune response.

Significantly, the study notes that when an infection triggers the immune system it could add to the psychological stress of enduring a fatal disease and to stress-associated inflammation. Further, “cytokine storms”, which are an immune system response to coronaviruses, can also cause psychiatric symptoms in those infected.

Apart from immune system mechanisms, COVID-19 patients’ stress might be exacerbated by the fear of the illness itself, uncertainty of the future, stigma, traumatic memories of severe illness and social isolation that they experience during treatment.
 

In May, researchers from the University of Cincinnati and three Italian institutions reviewed neuroimaging and neurological symptoms in patients with COVID-19 and published their findings in the journal Radiology.
