It suggests that the pandemic could lead to a wave of mental and neurological problems. Anxiety affected about 17% of the patients mood disorder, about 14%. And then amongst patients who had severe cold and had to go to the ICU, 7% had a stroke within six months and 2% were diagnosed with dementia

But I'm not sure whether I have heard anything like this in India because many of them took their second order and so far no issues with them. But I'm not sure why this is happening to them. Like most of the people who are suffering from mental disorders and neurological kind of stuff, but it's a serious kind of issue like some kind of disease. People should be more take the precautionary measures for these kind of things
