It is definitely psychological.
I was suffering daily after COVID when living still under lockdown.
I moved to a non-lockdown country (where the strategy is now herd immunity) and felt better immediately, and now have zero lingering symptoms.
Lockdown and Government restrictions are more suffocating than COVID.
- bettem 6y agoThe effect of lockdowns on mental health is undoubtedly large, however I would hazard against ruling a very large number of people with numerous studies & epidemiologists behind them as purely psychological.
- ketamine__ 6y agoThe number of people studied is very small. It certainly isn't evidence based enough for a report on Cochrane.
- bettem 6y agoFair point, however the intent of my reply was to not dismiss something as psychological when there isn’t an extensive study on the topic.
- istorical 6y agoPerhaps your anecdata would be more convincing if you put "It _can_ definitely be psychological" because your claim sounds a bit absolute as is. I can easily offer my own experience with covid symptoms that is quite different than yours but I wouldn't make an "it is" statement because of it.
