On this episode of the podcast I discuss the term "brain fog" and if this is appropriate when talking about neurological impairment in Long Covid. I discuss research and two papers which explain neurological complications with Long Covid and other post viral conditions. Cognitive dysfunction is scary, experiencing the loss of words, forgetting full conversations, moments in your life. Cognitive dysfunction effects many of our systems and evokes a multitude of associated symptoms. I also discuss how cognitive impairment is often suggested by medical professionals, as being a mental health condition, anxiety/depression rather than being acknowledged as cognitive dysfunction. This is detrimental to any treatment or therapies required for either/or cognitive dysfunction or mental health. It is imperative that further research is undertaken, and medical professionals have extended training, on the multi complex condition Long Covid is and how to appropriately address and treat the associated symptoms that effect the person, physically, cognitively, emotionally and mentally. I hope you enjoy this podcast and always please take care. Nature reviews microbiology - Hannah. E.
