People who catch Covid ‘more likely to then suffer depression and anxiety’
People who catch Covid are more likely to go on to suffer depression and anxiety, a study has found.
Experts said the research backs up previous findings but has a longer follow-up, with people tracked for a year.
US researchers looked at data for 153,848 people who had tested positive for the virus and compared them with more than 560,000 with no history of Covid and a further large control group from before the pandemic.
