One of the most important factors affecting our lives since 2019 was the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been observed that some people get over the disease in a short time, while others experience the effects of the disease for months, and sometimes even longer. The reason for the symptoms to be seen for such a long time may be directly the psychology of the people.

According to a new study, it takes longer for people to recover from COVID-19-related problems due to factors such as depression, anxiety and stress disorder. In other words, your mental health also has an impact on your physical health.

Stress prolongs the effects of COVID-19

One of the most interesting findings regarding the effect of mental distress on physical problems is that the effects of hypertension, sugar, and high cholesterol, which are normally expected to be more effective, are not as much as the mental effect.

One of the researchers, Dr. Siwen Wang, in a statement, said, “For the long-term COVID perspective, we clearly see that looking from this (mental health) perspective is just as valuable as looking from a physical health perspective.” He said, and stated that mental health should be given more attention, just like physical health in general.

On the other hand, the researchers revealed that the effects of the disease are not psychological, but have a physical effect. In the study, 3,193 nurses who had COVID-19 disease were studied. The results show that the effects of COVID are 30-50% longer in people under stress.

The main reason for this situation was the relationship between the release of cytokine proteins and stress. When the release of this protein increases due to stress, the amount of fever also increases. On the other hand, the fact that the research was conducted with people with very similar characteristics may indicate that the situation may develop differently in different people.
