COVID-19 Could Raise Dementia,
Other Brain Diseases for Decades to Come!
Complete Neurological Care Just now2 min
read Emotional detachment, loss of smell and
taste, and other cognitive disorders are seen in
the COVID-19 survivors. A few patients have
reported psychotic breaks, and few others have
shown strange neurological symptoms like phantom
smells, tremors, extreme fatigue, brain fog,
etc. A study from France stated in the New
England Journal of Medicine noted that
2
neurological symptoms occurred in almost 67 of
the patients.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, most confirmed COVID-19 cases are
seen among adults aged between 18 to 64 years.
There are almost 95 million confirmed cases, and
the US is one of the most affected countries.
The severe cases of COVID-19 have shown symptoms
of cognitive problems, which may lead to brain
disorders, and even some researchers have seen
the signs of Dementia, too, as patients face
memory-based problems.

Even the patients with mild cases of COVID-19 are
stated to face problems in focusing, memory loss,
and other neurological symptoms. Scientists and
medical researchers believe that these adverse
health effects on the brain can even last longer
in the patients. On the other hand, the
Alzheimers Association and researchers from 30
countries under the technical guidance of WHO
have formed a consortium to study the long-term
effects of the SARS-CoV-2. The underlying study
will focus on the biology that leads to a
connection with Dementia and other cognitive
disorders.
In the words of Dr. de Erausquin, an investigator
with the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimers
and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San
Antonio stated, It is clear from the studies
done worldwide that the damage done by COVID-19
pandemic will not be limited to the acute effects
like the Delirium (confused thinking and reduced
awareness of ones surroundings), but patients
can face chronic consequences that will impact
the individuals quality of life and
independence.

It is found out that these long-lasting effects
are caused by the viral infection in the brain
tissue, and the growing pieces of evidence are
showing COVIDs relation with neurological
disorders, especially in older adults.
So, if you or your family member has just
recovered from COVID-19 and facing forgetfulness
or brain fog, then it is time to see an
