Coronavirus can cause strokes and mental disorders, new study shows

[Chris Smith]

• Strange coronavirus symptoms have been observed since the pandemic started, including brain complications like stroke or psychiatric disorders.

Doctors started noticing all sorts of unusual COVID-19 symptoms months ago when the novel coronavirus outbreaks started hitting European countries and the United States. Some of them were very unusual, as the disease manifested itself as a neurological condition, similar to strokes. Some patients appeared to be in an advanced state of confusion and came to the hospital to treat what appeared to be a problem with the brain. Other hospitals reported an increased incidence of stroke in younger patients during the epidemic compared to regular times. Similarly, cardiologists noticed heart attack-like issues with COVID-19 patients that were apparently caused by the disease. Soon after that, more studies came out revealing that the virus causes blood clotting, which can lead to complications and even death. Blood thinners could save the lives of patients by preventing strokes, heart attacks, and clotting in the lung, those studies said.

Fast forward to late June, and a new study from the UK reveals that brain complications might be more frequent than we thought. People infected with COVID-19 were not diagnosed just with strokes, but with psychological issues secondary to the infection.
