If you’re feeling triggered and talking isn’t working, it’s time to see a therapist. There’s no shame in seeking help,” said Dr. Cynthia Ackrill, a stress management expert and member of the American Institute of Stress.
Apathy can be accompanied by cognitive dysfunction, according to the WHO. For example, confusion, memory loss, or lack of concentration and mental clarity. “The post-Covid-19 condition can impair the ability to carry out daily activities such as working or doing housework.”
