One in three COVID-19 survivors diagnosed with neurological or mental health conditions, study finds

A third of COVID-19 survivors suffer from long-term brain or psychiatric disorders, scientists reported Tuesday. 

Researchers studied more than 236,000 patients, mostly in the U.S., finding that 34% of survivors were diagnosed with a neurological or psychological condition within six months of infection. Researchers call it the largest study to date on the connection between coronavirus and brain health.  Researchers looked at 14 neurological and mental health disorders in total. According to the observational study, published Tuesday in the journal Lancet Psychiatry, anxiety was the most common diagnosis, affecting 17% of survivors.
