> Long-COVID (long-haulers) experience psychiatric symptoms for months or years after the primary COVID infection resolves (negative antigen test). The most common symptoms reported by people with long-COVID are fatigue, brain-fog, memory impairments, cognitive impairments, and depression.

> SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) often attacks organs by affecting the circulatory system. That's why the virus can attack so many organs at one time. One of the organs most vulnerable to the actions of SARS-CoV-2 is the brain. People with mental illness may be particularly susceptible to the psychiatric effects of COVID-19. I have neglected getting the most recent vaccination. That is extremely dumb of me. After I post this, I'm going to make an appointment to get the most recent vaccine. I can't afford to get COVID. It might ruin my response to antidepressant treatment.
