The cognitive and mental health impact of COVID
Your patient's cognitive function can impact how they interact and thrive in their day to day lives. Current research into long COVID suggests that the virus may have long term effects on intellect, including a decline in memory, confusion and brain fog* long after recovery.
As such, finding the right tools to confidently assess and help individuals overcome these changes is paramount. The trauma of the illness may have also impacted your patient's mental health, with reports showing that several people have indicated high levels of PTSD, anxiety, insomnia and other mental health issues**.
