COVID-19 survivors bedridden for more than 7 days (22.3% of infected patients), however, were at persistently higher risk for depression (PR, 1.61) and anxiety (1.43) than uninfected participants throughout the study period."Severe acute COVID-19 illness—indicated by extended time bedridden—is associated with long-term mental morbidity among recovering individuals in the general population," the researchers wrote.
