The chief psychiatrist of the Ministry of Health called the manifestations of post-covid syndrome

Chief Psychiatrist of the Ministry of Health of Russia, General Director of the National Medical Research Center for Psychiatry and Narcology named after V.I. V.P. Serbian Zurab Kekelidze, in an interview with RBC TV channel, called the main manifestations of post-covid syndrome.

“The first is that a person does not understand what bad COVID has brought. <...> After COVID, in most cases there are no complaints, but in fact it’s just that he (the patient. -) incorrectly assesses his functions, ”said the doctor.

The specialist cited the example of athletes who develop shortness of breath a few minutes after the start of intensive training, which was not observed before the disease. In addition, those who have been ill have partial amnesia, when they forget certain words, as well as excessive irritability, Kekelidze noted.
