Abstract
Long-COVID, a chronic disease, poses threats not just to the patient’s physical health but also their mental well-being. This study seeks to examine the impact of long-COVID on mental health in COVID-19 survivors through a literature review of 38 studies from 19 countries. The analysis results reveal that depression and anxiety disorders are the most pronounced mental health issues in this population, and that personal factors like gender, age, and economic status and environmental factors can all influence long-COVID’s effects on their mental well-being. The study highlights the concerning prevalence and severity of mental health issues associated with long-COVID and the importance of increasing psychological support services for individuals with the post-COVID-19 syndrome and bolstering public knowledge about the condition.
