COVID Depression and Long Hauler Mental Health Case Report
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Psychiatrist Drew Ramsey, MD meets with Jody, a 56-year-old woman who was diagnosed with COVID-19 early in the pandemic and has since been designated as a long hauler. She had a successful career in NYC, lived as a vegan, and didn’t smoke or drink, but COVID still wreaked havoc on her mental and physical health well after a year with the infection.
“I never could have imagined that something like a virus could take me out. And I mean completely out.” In this candid conversation, Jody describes painful pericarditis, insomnia, tremors, and other physical effects of the virus that culminated in anxiety and suicidal ideation. And she reveals the stigma that continues to plague long haulers, not unlike other people living with chronic illness.

Been living the same long covid Nightmare now for 14 months. I have been working full time since May this year but it takes all I have to do 8 hours work. I come home and crash and have nothing left for my spare time. Weekends are recovery time. Those without long covid do not understand what we have to deal with. I feel that nobody believes me. I now accept my situation and live with the effects but it is hard because iam an active person by nature and previously lived a full and active life.
I feel for this poor woman. I’m going through the same thing. I frequently think about going downtown and laying on the train tracks. I keep going for my dogs.
Hold on. God is still good. I feel crappy too and fighting through post-covid depression. My dogs and my wife and my faith that God will come through for me, keep me going.
Keep in going bc you funny & this world needs funny guys!
I think the mental aspects of long COVID were worse than the physical. I know that’s not true for everyone but it has been for me. The physical ones were bad enough. But the mental was torture.
@@lindavid794 I’ve lost everything to long Covid. I lost my 6 figure job, my home, my credit, a lot of friends. I’m not sure why I keep going.
@@mother_of_doxiesmy sympathy. I have also lost all this. I'm now bed ridden most days. Can't sleep, crazy anxiety and panic, fatigued, hair loss, dizzy
Thank you for this discussion. I went through this in 2011 with another virus. So hard not to be seen or believed! I am now about 75% better. Thankful for the progress.
I just came home from the hospital after a psychotic episode from Covid 19. I actually have issues of depression and anxiety. No one is talking about this. Thank you.
I really dont want to be offensive , but I'm wondering if you took anything experimental that may have contributed to this episode ? I hope you are getting heard whatever it may be ! gb
The depression and anxiety was aweful!
Are you better?
@@TheBushRanger. The depression and anxiety yes. The breathing and memory not so much!
@@shelleylannon2245 How long did the depression and anxiety last for you?
@@flagmichael A year.. Doctors are putting patients on large doses of Prozac...Ill tell you what helped me most. Vit B's and Vit D3...
Yeah terrible. Especially the first 4 months
Sometimes I think COVID is chemically warfare
It is
It would be useless as a weapon, but it can certainly stomp some people into the ground in a wide range of ways.
It is bioweapons
Agreed. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever experienced times 20.
Biological warfare. Def wiped out a ton of the Population.
I will keep you in prayer.....drink Chamomile tea with honey, lemon... smell purple onions before you go to bed and read the book of Palms in the bible a few verses....it soothes your spirit....🕊
I have serious brain fog and memory problem, I cannot simply do basic things like shopping and communicating with other people. i dont know how to approach this problem.
I’m with you in the same battle 😔
Could it be that the depression is born out of feeling like shit all the time with long haul??? I've had long haul for two years and its getting better but slowly, very slowly. Just when I think I'm done with it ill have a day or two where it rears its ugly head. So I'm just not sure if the depressed feeling I get is really just not being sick of feeling sick from long haul. All this and still no one knows where this dreaded sickness originated???? Amazing??? Makes me really angry!!!!
I can help you.
They know..just like they know who's in Epsteins black book..One thing I'm sure the government is great at is covering there own asses
No, its both. Neuroinflamation
very similaar to lyme disease It creates brain inflammation 12 years of lyme now 2 years of covid feeling less anxious but it was horrific now it is terrible fatigue and dizzyness @@Rebelconformist82
Sadly, that reluctance to "get involved" extends into medical support. Doctors who are working near capacity with people who can (and need to be) treated avoid taking on conditions with no clear path forward. I struggled with depression from PTSD but at least it was treatable (long path, but worth it). With COVID mental health problems we are in a wilderness of not even knowing what is causing it or how many possible root causes there are.
A treatment that is safe and easy that really helped me with PTSD was to do something relaxing for 30 minutes every night before going to bed. Meditation, yoga, listening to soft music... anything non-stimulating. After 40 years of PTSD to that point two months of that therapy made a huge difference. It may or may not help with post-COVID depression but it can't hurt.
Thank you for this precise sharing 🙏💚 Wishing everyone good recovery ❤️🩹💚
Hi guy, I've got all that and even worst. The insomnia problem is not because of the medicaments or trauma. The virus really touches the central system and the production of melatonin. It is one of my last symptom, but It is still hard to have a normal life.
50000 IU vit d helped me for two weeks, along with cardio plus. Melatonin helped me sleep the night.
You will prevail. Prayers and love to you. We will beat it.
Thank you to both of you. Had two shots and two boosters then had covid July 4 2022. long COVID Symptoms but not as bad as most. only a few months now tapering off. must be the shots? still cautious.
Yes....after two..years....you feel vulnerable to depression...thats the lasting effect....not very good at dealing with stress...mental...healing takes..years....
I have symptoms like Parkinson’s from the Covid I so wish to be back in my normalcy 😔 my brain is like numb
Im in Melbourne we had the longest lockdown in the world. Its only hit me in Feb 2022. I have had my ocd thoughts come back. During those 6 lockdowns i was stuck in a call centre job which i hated and lost all interest in everything. I think all of those things just built up and now im just so mentally exhausted
I’m so messed up right now. Brain fog headaches fatigue ect. I’m serious freaking out. I can’t get clear. I’m not getting oxygen to my brain I believe.
Drink tea and positive thinking...relax yourself and your thoughts...take long walks outside and breathe fresh air...no mask...surround yourself with people that are positive and happy...you are fine and you will be fine...We are not all the same but we might have same things help us. I never cared about covid and I never was scared getting the virus...I had same symptoms as you and still have them but are pushing forward happy :). I never got vaccinated and never will as the vaccine is not outweighing the benefits of this virus...All the things I told you to do are helping me a ton but my symptoms started when I lost my job over mandates...triggering the depression that lead to headaches and that is what they call long covid, which I never felt I had. Whatever your situation is...get rid of the things and people that make you unhappy and you will see covid go away...ahahah..relax and be happy...get rid of covid thoughts...vaccinated people are experiencing mostly everything and that is called long covid... this lady doing the interview is healthy woman experiencing heart problems?? ok really....
I can help you.
You can try low dose nicotine patches. I’ve had miserable LC for 3.5 years. But now and then I wear nicotine patches for a few days amd feel immediately vastly better and vastly cheered up (although not cured). There is a journal paper about how the nicotine pushes the viruses out of your synapses. Plus nicotine is just a gentle feel good stimulant.

Man made madness

In John 8:12, Jesus says of Himself,
"I am the light of the world he who follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness but shall have the light of light of life"
Depression is darkness but "in Him (Jesus) there is no darkness at all".
Romans 10:13 promises that "whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"
The Lord is Jesus and salvation is both from the darkness in this age and from the darkness in the next age to come.
