A recent study published in the Lancet Psychiatry Journal, showed that people diagnosed with Covid-19 in the previous six months were 16% more likely to develop depression, dementia, psychosis and stroke, researchers have found.
Links between Covid and brain-related conditions had already been detected and researchers say that this study confirms that Covid isn't just a respiratory illness.
Why might this occur? Some researchers have alluded to the hyper-inflammation that can occur after a Covid infection, which can affect the brain.
This is why eating a healthy diet, exercise, optimal sleep and preventing key nutrient deficiencies like vitamin D3, zinc and vitamin C are so important in mitigating inflammation and potentially helping to prevent the long-term negative impact of Covid
