Editorial: Mental Health Distress in Long COVID Condition Among the Pediatric Population: A Contemporary Medical Challenge - 30/12/24

Résumé |
As the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues, a body of emerging evidence suggests that individuals who had been infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) suffered from lingering adverse health consequences. Such long-term conditions, also known as “long COVID” or “post-acute COVID syndrome,” are reported to bring both pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations.1 The most common features of long COVID include fatigue and headache, which frequently occur with neuropsychiatric impairments. Given that the onset of mental disorders occurs primarily in late childhood and adolescence, it is essential to focus on the pediatric population to determine the risk of mental disorder diagnosis following SARS-CoV-2 infection.
