An estimated 30% of Covid-19 survivors - including those who initially had only “mild” symptoms - experience “long covid” - that is, symptoms that persist long after the acute phase of the infection has passed. In this episode, health psychologist Traci Stein interviews internationally renowned long covid expert Dr. James C. Jackson about the mental health and cognitive effects of this syndrome. They discuss some of the more common and challenging symptoms, such as fatigue, “brain fog,” depression and anxiety, as well as the social, professional, spiritual, and other challenges faced by those dealing with this condition. Listeners will also learn about specific steps they can take to begin to feel, do and live better despite long covid.
