How SARS-CoV-2 Infection Affects Mental Health

You might have heard that people who catch SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can face mental health issues. But what about those who don't even know they're infected? A new study set out to answer this question and found some interesting results. The study looked at whether mental health is affected even in people who don't realize they've been infected. It also considered how severe the infection was and how long ago it happened.Researchers discovered that mental health can indeed be impacted, even in those who didn't know they had the virus. They also found that the severity of the infection and the time since it occurred played a role. This isn't just about feeling a bit down after a bad cold. The study highlights that mental health issues can appear in unexpected ways and at unexpected times. It's a reminder that our mental health is closely tied to our physical health, and that even after we've recovered from a virus, we might need extra support.
