Psychiatric treatment for corona long-term effects
Officially recovered but not well
Many COVID patients are not fully recovered even months after their infection. Although they are officially considered recovered, approximately 10 to 20 percent of COVID sufferers struggle with long-term consequences. This includes many younger sufferers.
The long-term consequences following a corona infection are varied. The most common symptoms include organic and physical complaints, reduced performance, and the feeling of permanent exhaustion, fatigue, and listlessness (fatigue), which cannot be improved by sufficient sleep and rest.
But mental health conditions such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sleep disorders, and anxiety– and compulsions can occur after a COVID infection. This is then referred to as post- or long-term COVID. As a clinic for psychiatry, psychotherapy, and psychosomatics, we help you to deal with the psychological consequences of a COVID infection. To create the best conditions for a fast recovery, our interdisciplinary team of specialists and psychologists will develop a treatment concept tailored to your individual needs. We would like to help you find your way back into life with renewed strength.
