Many COVID-19 survivors are likely to be at greater risk of developing mental illness, psychiatrists said on Monday, after a large study found 20% of those infected with the coronavirus are diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder within 90 days.
Is this just correlation though? I can imagine that a bunch of poor people who never go to the doctor had to for COVID and then maybe that led to them being more likely to be diagnosed for their already existing conditions.
Also did they control for mental illness from any disease? I mean Covid is probably more traumatic than say serious Pneumonia, but that probably still has a huge mental illness rate.

Yeah I'd 100% end up as a correlation in this study from my unmedicated panic disorder
