As someone who is disabled with a mitochondrial disease (Complex 1 Deficiency) that expresses as a mood disorder (which includes the anxiety they speak of in the article) and ME/CFS, I feel sure enough to posit that the cause of all the symptoms from covid are brought about by an individuals ability to handle oxidative stress. This increase in oxidative stress is most likely the result of a combination of genetics and vitamin depletion after infection. Through years of living with my disorder I have found that any stress (environmental, psychological, physical) leads to a build up in oxidative stress in the mitochondria, triggering either mania or profound fatigue, pain and depression. Through shaping my environment and the use of specific supplements I am able to mostly control my mood and health without the use of daily medications. Until we talk seriously about nutrition and stress, people will keep dying of COVID19, and they will never be free of medications that help in the short term but have bad/unknown effects in the long term. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0024320520314065 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002432052... https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3921/10/2/257 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3921/10/2/257
