Post Covid Malaise? It's A Real Thing
Has having Covid left you with a lingering feeling of depression or malaise? You're not alone. It's a real thing.
Dr. Arthur Bregman, MD, a Psychiatry Specialist in Coral Gables, FL, with over 47 years of expertise treating illnesses including ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and various other problems reports...
“Nine out of ten Covid patients who see me on a telemedicine call report a lingering sense of what I like to call ‘Covid dysphoria."
He went on to explain, “After a bout with coronavirus a lot of my patients are not just suffering mild depressive symptoms - they have a more complete personality change. They don’t lose memories and become completely different people, but they say things like ‘My friends tell me I’m not like myself’ or ‘I’m usually such a cheerful person! What happened?’
Whatever happened won't last forever thank goodness! Luckily for sufferers of 'Covid dysphoria', there are a few pointers that Dr. Bregman can share to help folks feel less hopeless and more confident that they’ll overcome this bump in the psychological road. It does tend to go away on its own and with relaxation techniques and a bit of talk therapy people can usually get on the other side of it quicker.
Enjoyed talking with Dr. Bregman and I've posted our conversation as a podcast here. If this is something youre struggling with it's highly likley that you would benefit from a personal 'talk therapy' session.
Teletherapy in general is one of the really positive things that came out of the pandemic and it's likely covered by your insurance.
