Study: COVID-19 May Cause Changes In The Brain

The video discusses two new studies on the impact of COVID-19 on brain aging and damage. It highlights the experiences of Samantha Lewis, a patient at a Neuro COVID-19 clinic, who struggles with cognitive issues. The studies reveal that COVID-19 can cause significant loss of grey matter, akin to three years of aging in four months. Researchers found nerve cell damage and elevated biomarkers in COVID patients, linking brain inflammation to long-haul symptoms like anxiety. While the studies provide hope and validation for patients, questions remain about the permanence of brain damage. Future research will explore if the damage is reversible.
