The ”Pandemic Brain,” people who haven’t had Covid-19 also suffer increased tiredness, impaired decision-making and a lack of focus due to the pandemic.

The year 2020 marked the beginning of the end. The pandemic not only affected our health and claimed millions of lives. It also caused significant disruptions globally. Whether we will see global economic collapse, ecological devastation, nuclear armageddon, total corporate takeover, or the coming obsoletion of the human race in the next decade was not predicted by the supercomputers. 

To summarise the article below, depression is a mental, emotional, and physical wreck that occurs after a heightened state of anxiety, which is disabling on its own. The physical and mental toll of being unable to control our own thoughts is enough to take everything out of us for weeks to months at a time. It’s a prison, a maze with no exit. As a result, human beings have become irrational, irresponsible and illogical. The Pandemic Brain is the cause of the human ‘dystopia’ that you might be experiencing in a dystopian society. 

According to research, Sars-Cov-2 is associated with changes in the brain structure in UK Biobank (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04569-5). In addition, there is strong evidence of brain-related pathologies, some of which could be a consequence of viral neurotropism 1,2,14 or virus-induced neuroinflammation 3,4,5,15, including the following: neurological and cognitive deficits demonstrated by patients 6,7, with an incidence of neurological symptoms in more than 80% of the severe cases 8, radiological and post mortem tissue analyses demonstrating the impact of COVID-19 on the brain 9,10, and the possible presence of the coronavirus in the central nervous system.

New research indicates that for some individuals—even those who have steered clear of becoming infected with SARS-CoV-2—societal and lifestyle disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic may have triggered inflammation in the brain that can affect mental health. The study, conducted by a team led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), is published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant social and economic disruptions that have impacted the lives of a large swath of the world’s population in multiple ways. Also, since the start of the pandemic, the severity and prevalence of symptoms of psychological distress, fatigue, brain fog, and other conditions have increased considerably in the United States, including among people not infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Besides, Covid can shrink the brain and damage its tissue, finds research. In the brain study, researchers at the University of Oxford found that Disrupted signal processing in such areas may contribute to symptoms such as smell loss, and lower mental skills with a greater loss of brain tissue in the parts of the cerebellum involved in cognitive ability as per the research Nature.

A global increase in the prevalence of fatigue, brain fog, depression and other “sickness behaviour“-like symptoms implicates a possible dysregulation in neuroimmune mechanisms even among those never infected by the virus, a Neuroinflammation even in non-infected individuals.

Another major concern is Covid-Era Babies Are ”Talking” Less, Signaling Future Reading Challenges. According to one study, about a third of early elementary students will need intensive support to become proficient readers. Now two additional studies suggest that many children born during the pandemic will also be at risk for academic failure.

Masked Effects – Children who have attended school or other group settings during the pandemic have typically interacted with others who wore face masks. One crucial question is whether masks, which obscure parts of the face necessary for expressing emotions and speech, might also be affecting kids’ emotional and language development.

The question is, what is the solution or how can I overcome it? Please connect with me or write to me to learn about the solutions to address the growing issues that have already affected a significant population globally.
