Changes in your mental health are common in long COVID. Recovering from long COVID can be stressful, especially when symptoms last a long time. It is common to have feelings of stress, anxiety (worry, fear) or depression (low mood, sadness).  Your mood can also be affected by feelings of frustration about not being able to return to the daily activities that are important to you.

​

Managing stress, feelings, and overall mental health are an important part of your recovery.  It’s important to know that many symptoms of COVID-19 are linked - an improvement in one area (e.g. sleep) can lead to an improvement in another area (e.g. fatigue, low mood).
