No. long covid "Brain fog" is clearly caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen. Acquired ADHD has a much broader umbrella of brain injury, infections, environmental factors, and medical history.
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(23)00685-0/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3... suggests that various symptoms included in the definition of long covid "brain fog" can be improved by balancing the gut microbiome. The gut is where we produce 90% of serotonin.
So another way to think of this might be "could long covid lead to conditions common of gut dysbiosis?" your answer is what we are seeing in research:
- Depression.
- Anxiety.
- Alzheimer's disease.
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
- Autism.
- Bipolar disorder.
- Dementia.
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder.
- Schizophrenia.
