Healio (2/10, Miller) reports data indicate that “people who survived COVID-19 were more likely to report symptoms of anxiety, depression or both compared with those who did not have a history of the disease.” Investigators came to this conclusion after analyzing data from “survey responses from 3,633 U.S. adults,” then using the “Patient Health Questionnaires and the General Anxiety Disorder screening tool to evaluate clinical levels of anxiety, depression and psychological distress.” The findings were published online Jan. 12 in the European Journal of Internal Medicine.
