Key points
- The National Academies has released a formal definition of Long COVID that outlines key points about the condition and its severity and includes explicit examples of common symptoms.
- All psychologists should be screening for Long COVID, especially because treating issues such as depression and anxiety will differ in patients with a chronic health condition.
- Research shows that helping patients manage depression and anxiety is helpful in treating Long COVID as a whole.
