The impact of COVID-19 on mental health has been a topic of emerging concern. A new large-scale study involving data from around 18 million adults adds more evidence to the link, as researchers noticed a higher incidence of mental illness following severe COVID infection in unvaccinated individuals.
The study published in Jama Psychiatry investigated the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination status and the incidence of mental illnesses such as depression, serious mental illness, general anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, addiction, self-harm, and suicide.
