Lot of people’s lives have been changed due to Covid-19. For some, the symptoms have remained persistent for months and years. Long Covid can be debilitating, and people often struggle with changes and adjustment to life. Often people do start to make a recovery, for others this process may be slowed making recovery timescale uncertain.
Vita Health Group are working alongside physical health professionals to provide better support to patients with long covid.
Living with Long Covid can often lead to symptoms of depression and anxiety. Common signs and symptoms include:
- Feeling low most of the time and reduced interest or pleasure in once enjoyable activities
- Excessive worry
- Strong negative feelings towards persistent physical symptoms
- Feeling alone and isolated with long covid
- Avoiding or being unmotivated to use self-management strategies
Experiencing these symptoms along with managing Long Covid can understandably reduce a person’s quality of life. Please know that you are not alone, and we want to support you in taking steps to manage your emotional wellbeing and physical health condition.
