Nationwide studies on COVID-19 and brain disorders in Denmark
COVID-19 is associated with increased neurological, mental and medical sequelae after severe illness. However, we have demonstrated that risk increases are comparable to those following other infections of similar severity. Mild infection shows no clinically meaningful long-term sequelae, and pandemic lockdowns were not associated with a substantial worsening of population-level mental health, aside form a modest increase in psychotropic medication use.
