COVID-19 has more impacts than we think.

Foetal skulls displaying the effects of Hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, typically causing increased intracranial pressure and in some cases can lead to deformity of the skull due to the increased pressure. Congenital hydrocephalus occurs when a child is born with an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, and typically results in cognitive deficits and can also cause visual impairments, issues with movement and co-ordination. and epilepsy.

Covid’s Harmful Effects on the Brain Reverberate Years Later

Study finds ongoing risk of psychotic disorders and dementia

Research highlights burden of pandemic-induced chronic disease

Covid-19 survivors remain at higher risk of psychotic disorders, dementia and similar conditions for at least two years, according to a large study that highlights the mounting burden of chronic illness left in the pandemic’s wake.

While anxiety and depression occur more frequently after Covid than other respiratory infections, the risk typically subsides within two months, researchers at the University of Oxford found. In contrast, cognitive deficits known colloquially as “brain fog,” epilepsy, seizures and other longer-term mental and brain health disorders remained elevated 24 months later, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Lancet Psychiatry.

The findings, based on the records of more than 1.25 million patients, add to evidence of the virus’s potential to cause profound damage to the central nervous system and exacerbate the global burden of dementia -- which cost an estimated $1.3 trillion in the year the pandemic began. Oxford researchers showed in March that even a mild case is associated with brain shrinkage equivalent to as much as a decade of normal aging.

“The results have important implications for patients and health services as it suggests new cases of neurological conditions linked to Covid-19 infection are likely to occur for a considerable time after the pandemic has subsided,” said Paul Harrison, a professor of psychiatry and the study’s lead author, in a statement. The work highlights the need for more research to understand why this happens, and what can be done to prevent and treat these conditions, he said.
