In an interview with CBS, the woman, whose name was not revealed, said that her son suddenly changed weeks following he contracted corona.
Speaking of her son, she added: “He recently finished his engineering studies. He is behaving strangely. His mental state was assessed, and doctors indicated that he had Covid psychosis.”
According to a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado, Tida Thant, the study of the son’s situation in the mental health clinic for those who were infected with corona, has proven the possibility of the Corona virus causing serious infections in the body and brain.
“The body’s immune system may play a role in the development of psychotic symptoms,” Thant explained.
And she continued, “Illusions and hallucinations in people following infection with Corona, are part of this psychosis.
One of the things that the woman’s son with Covid psychosis thinks is that he is being watched by law enforcement, and that the neighbors are trying to arrange a problem for him.
According to Thant, the treatment of Covid psychosis through medication is possible provided the patient deals with the doctor, and first acknowledges that there is a problem.
