I do not deny that this exists and is a real symptom. The issue is when you classify regular anxiety and stress as long COVID in addition to actual neurological issues caused by COVID (which multiple studies have done), it inflates the overall numbers and dilutes the seriousness of the brain fog issues. That is also how you end up with long COVID as the “third leading neurological disorder” in the U.S.

Entirely agreed. There isn’t a single person here that wouldn’t have said they think anxiety depression and stress are major issues in 2019. I’ll be waiting for someone to prove long covid anxiety vs just regular pre-covid anxiety. At the same time, are we ignoring a majorly damaged economy, recession, raising prices, etc? I’d ask if that is long covid too, but the answer is yes, the debate is just differences in reasoning.
