    According to this article, rates of depression during COVID outbreak, were 27.5%. So, at least a decent chance this happens by chance? Also they mention worry, perceived stress and loneliness. Did anyone not perceive stress during the pandemic? 50% seems like a pretty low correlation. I can’t read your article because it’s login walled. https://www.bu.edu/articles/2021/depression-rates-tripled-when-pandemic-first-hit/ https://www.bu.edu/articles/2021/depression-rates-tripled-wh...

      No, it was 50% off those that experienced that BEFORE covid - so it was controlled

        Right but 50% of people who had long COVID had experienced “worry, perceived stress, or loneliness” in the past ( not ti mention depression/anxiety) I’d expect that number to be much higher.

        > Right but 50% of people who had long COVID had experienced Read more carefully that isn't what the paper showed - it showed that those with previous psychological problems were 50% more likely to have long covid COMPARED to those that didn't have previous problems
