The first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic affected the mental health of millions of Europeans, but not as strongly as many feared, with only a modest rise in mental health problems seen in a new systematic review published in The Lancet Psychiatry.
Still, access to mental health services has yet to rebound fully.
New research published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine and presented at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) suggests the altered sleep patterns in British residents hospitalized with COVID-19 likely contributed to developing breathlessness, or dyspnea following recovery from the initial illness.
