From a study of 1,066 individuals who recovered from COVID-19 in Japan,
"The participants completed self-report questionnaires at 3, 6, and 12 months after diagnosis..
Long COVID symptoms and psychological status were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S)..
Three months after diagnosis, 20.1% of the participants exhibited high anxiety (HADS-Anxiety [A] score ≥ 8), 23.6% had high depression (HADS-Depression [D] score ≥ 8), and 35.3% reported high levels of COVID-19-related fear (FCV-19S score ≥ 21).
[It was demonstrated that] the individuals with high HADS-A and HADS-D scores consistently experienced multiple post-COVID symptoms over time [up to 12 months]..
The participants with high HADS-A and HADS-D scores shared similar characteristics, including younger age, female sex, and mild severity of illness..
The elevated HADS scores in individuals with mild COVID-19 suggest that even those with less severe illness may experience significant mental health challenges."
We are challenging something serious without seriously thinking.
