Depression is one of the symptoms of Long Covid and some people are unlucky and get the entire range of them while others just end up with one or two. Covid seems to manipulate the blood brain barrier and gets into the brain and does some amount of damage while activating the brains immune system such as the Glial cells. The impact seems to be a range of neurological conditions. If its Long Covid then you most likely will recover, it could take a year or more. Alas many aren't yet recovering 2+ years later so probably wont.
Its possible it was caused by Covid, there are a quite a lot of Long Covid sufferers with just neurological problems.
