So are you saying that my wife got depressed 2 weeks after having Covid? That she just all of the sudden started to be breathless with oximeter showing levels below 80% due to a depression? She was in her best moment in life, earning a 6 figures salary, reading 50 books a year, learning a 5th language and studying a 2nd master degree.

After 2 years, she is now unable to leave home and read a single book of course this makes her depressed. But long covid is very real and it starts always a few weeks after the recovery. It impacting mostly women than men has probably something to do with the immune system differences and your comment is offensive to all the people suffering this terrible disease and all the scientist investigating it.

To be fair literally every single symptom here is a symptom of depression. Has she tried SSRIs? People get depressed from disease all the time, being sick is depressing.

Depression can cause dangerously low Blood Oxygen?
