Covid Psychosis: Some Feel Distress And 'Impaired Sense Of Reality' After Sickness | NBC News NOW
"It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
This is horrible. So sorry. This virus is total destruction.
I felt like I was on LSD and it wouldn't go away. I cried to my doctor and begged to fix my brain. It got better but for around a month I was not me. I was insane, there is no other word for it. I needed help and no one knew what to do. I'm ok now but I would NEVER want to live through that nightmare again.
Me too. It was the same for me. I'm sorry you had to suffer through that.
Yes I went through it. It very like being on narcotics and a bad anxieity-depression trip. not fun. But eventually went away after a few months. I think it started to improve after a month and then another month or 2 to return to normal. At it's worst, it would come in severe anxiety waves that were horrific.
im going through it rn but im staying strong.
@@arina4030 It eventually gets better. Helps to have someone to talk to take the focus off of it. if you start to feel overwhelmed and a panic onset, get up and do something to force your brain out of the fog.
@Hillary Marek How long after having COVID did it take for the psychosis to manifest?
My Sincere Condolences to Family & Friends For Uncermountable Loss😔
@Ringadingding POOR YOU
I've heard of people developing anxiety disorders, panic attacks and agoraphobia from prolonged hospital stays, but this is tragic.
my heart goes out to this woman and her kids. 🥀
to get him back after covid only to have him take his own life is simply heartbreaking.
i am so sorry. 😥
So is this like how Strep throat can cause p.a.n.d.a in children? if so it really needs to be made more aware to the public, cause people who don't normally share their inner feelings may just keep it to themselves till its too late not knowing its a symptom at all.
This is happening to me but I’m holding on :///
Hey how are you feeling now? Has it gone away?
@@Nusaiba89 well I’m not sure if it is related to COVID but I’m talking to therapist now and I’m just seeing what happens, it hasn’t gone away though
@@ssstormgod2902 how are you now?
How are you now??
I had covid psychosis in early August of 2022. It was about the 4th day of having covid that i started to have mental problems. I was slurring when i was talking. Some hair fell out on my scalp. My nails stopped growing. I was sweating a lot. I could hardly walk straight. I just slept all the time and ate nothing. Then, i started repeating things in my head. I did this a little when i was a teenager, but this was way worse. I was sitting on the couch a few feet from my wife and i knew she was right there but my spacial awareness told me she was 100 yards away. That was tormenting. On top of that, i was repeating my own name in my head over and over and over and over again and it was getting louder and louder. I was literally losing my mind. I asked my wife "Do you think i need to go to the hospital?" She paused the tv and said "Why do you think you need to go?" I told her bc im about to end it all right now. We immediately went. The hospital had me talk to a person on a screen, then they cleared me to go home. I was there about 5 hours. They ran some tests on me, did a scan, found nothing. We got home late. I was in the shower for a while. I hoped the steam would clear some things up but it never seemed to. Im not that religious, but i prayed that night for God to heal me while i showered. I went to bed at 1:00. I then was awoken at about 3. I felt a weird cracking basically right where my cheekbone is. It was that same feeling you get when your sinuses are cleared up. Then, i felt different. I felt like me again. I made sure it was real and i laughed. That was the test. Then i woke my wife up and she was in shock. She cried. She said it was like i was haunted while i was sick. Everything about me was gone. My sense of humor. My drive. My love. Gone. I was a shell of a human. Im so thankful that im back and still here. That was easily the scariest week of my life. Covid brought me to my knees in 4 days.
I got hit by delta-like a deer full of energy got hit by a truck coming from nowhere. I have had a fever for 10days( going up to 104.5 degrees ) and during the infection moments came where I lost it. Thanks to my brothers who supported me and helped me to fight the virus. After the infection I became anxious like never before. I have had worst 2 months of my life after infection. Deepression and anxiety was suffocating me very bad. I felt like I'm buried in the ground while alive. But things started to clear up when I moved from metropolitan to my countryside village. I started going out in nature more often and started rigorous swimming session in our pond. I got infected in may and here I'm after 8 months in best shape of my life eating well, working out, and daily doing breathing meditation. I feel well, although sometimes anxiety hits me but then I start doing breathing(yoga) it helps a lot. To all those who've got hit by this virus hard and feeling unwell, confused, deepressed and anxious. Just have patience this shall too pass. And one thing more don't hospitalise yourself, unless it is an emergency. Many have healed in home. You'll heal too. Much love❤️
I experienced exact same symptoms! I felt like I had rabbies! I was delusional, panicked, like everyone was trying to hurt me, I was hallucinating and really wanted to die! Dark shadows were following me and people in general were my enemies! I finally came out of it with a few natural supplements! 🙏🏻🥺
Can u elaborate on natural supplements stuff? Please
@@mazzogizzo3712 I take lion’s mane mushroom supplement (it repairs some of the damage to nerves and brain), shatavari (more for women), ashwagandha, maca & ginseng, black seed oil! There’s also a combination of 5 mushrooms for immune self-defence (product is called RealMushrooms 5 Defenders), and there’s a company that now makes coffee with some of these supplements called MudWtr . Also a diet rich in nutrients and potassium is helping! Most of us are deficient in potassium and magnesium! Potassium is found in potatoes, orange juice, milk, avocados, etc. Blueberries and carrot juice are also very good! And I love papaya, it’s rich in antioxidants! 🙌🏻💯💁🏼♀️ Also stay away from sugar and use a good 🍯 instead! Don’t heat honey, it loses its benefits!
With Love Isabella thank you.
I water fasted. My sense/perspective of reality was extremely altered. Felt completely disconnected. Doesn’t help that I’m a bit of a conspiracy theorist. I was convinced the virus was changing my brain structure or something.
@@jakeylakey619 same here!!!!
Can you give me info on the best place to treat this, please, I know someone going through the same situation. Thank you
You need to take this very serious. The worst condition you can ever find yourself in life.. is to experience amplified overwhelming negative (real world) stressor emotions AND simultaneously loose the ability to feel any POSTIVE emotions. THIS is what both severe Depression and Covid Fog can do. The worst Situation is to find yourself in this condition and be without any defense... Without any defense, it can EASILY cause even the most stable well adjusted blessed person to commit suicide. (as in this story). So don't blow this off.
1- Faith In God. (prayer)
2- ACTIVELY doing distractions to break the death grip spiral of negative emotions.... cleaning house, walking, talking/texting, shopping, anything that takes you out of your own head. This can be exhausting.. but is necessary.
3- Armed with knowledge it is only temporary, it IS a real physio-bio attack on your neurons.. and it WILL subside eventually.
4- Fight with willpower you will NOT let this attack on your body and mind take your life... for your sake, and for your loved one's sake.
This is not fog. This is so serious. The medical professionals know nothing about it or how to treat it at this point. It's awful. I feel for her and her family.
@Kylie Rittenhouse ? My comment should have said, this is not fake. Not fog.
Lol, I know.. we call it "fog" but it's often severe anxiety-depression. The "Fog" is the detached LSD trip side effect.
I had Covid Psychosis. What a nightmare I dealt with it for 7 weeks.
It's helpful to hear you've recovered! My wife is in the hospital with it. It's so hard.
@@TheRealMonnie she has Covid Psychosis?
Let me guess, your jabbed?
@@cryptoconcept7545 no never took the vaccine and never will
@@cryptoconcept7545 I had the covid psychosis also (extreme anxiety-depression) and am not jabbed. It happens from the covid virus penetrating the blood brain barrier and infecting your neurons. nasty stuff.
My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your wonderful husband. I commend you for trying to make people aware of this life threatening symptom that can devastate a family. I think that very few people know of this complication, and need to be aware so we know what to look for. I hope you do not take offense if I share my own personal experience with this, as it is done only in the hopes to make others aware, and maybe if they know what to look for, they can help a loved one.
My little daughter had Covid just a few months ago in April, and in June was hospitalized for hallucinations (audio and visual), she went into seizures and immediately after had memory loss not knowing who she was, or where she was. She was crying for her mom and I was right there, but every time I tried to hold her hand she screamed I was a stranger. She then lost feeling in her limbs and the ability to walk. We did endless tests, but no diagnosis, and we were sent home one week later as my daughter seemed to get better on her on.
She was good for about 2 weeks, and I noticed she started having trouble sleeping, eating, would walk around with no purpose, seemed spaced out. I rushed her back to Emergency when she seemed paranoid and scared to death, and she told me that the voices and hallucinations were back and wanted to hurt her. She though she was being followed by people that could read her mind, and she could predict the future. She was scared she was going to hurt herself.
We spent 2 weeks in the Children's Hospital, ran endless tests (a repeat of all the prior tests, plus additional ones) and consulted with endless doctors - pediatrics, neurology, immunology, infectious disease, rheumatology, psychiatrics. My daughter developed Catatonic Mutism and lost the ability to speak, seizures started, and the fear in her eyes was horrifying. She would communicate by writing or Yes No signing. This time it took medication to get her to out of her catatona. We are back home again, my daughter is on medication, and being closely followed by a team of doctors. The diagnosis was given as Covid Psychosis. Her blood tests were clean, her MRI, and lumbar puncture were clean, but somehow this virus has attacked her brain, and because this is so new, doctors cannot tell you if this is an immune response to the virus, and inflammation to the brain caused by a protein or virus, and how long it will take her to recover. Or even if she recovers, can there be a relapse if she gets ill again. I have hope that my daughter will heal in time, and being aware of the symptoms and what to watch for, gives me a measure of comfort that I can help her somehow.
If you have a loved one that has acted strange after Covid, pay close attention and don't be afraid to talk and ask hard questions of what they are feeling, or hearing/seeing. What they may see or hear can be overwhelming and terrifying, and they are not able to separate what they see, hear, and feel from what is actually real.
Omg this happened to me, I’m talking to a therapist now, I am17
There is something comforting and refreshing knowing that there are so many people commenting that they too faced this terrifying experience. I was isolated thinking there was something wrong with me. I am healthy and had no history of psych issues. Doctors sent me away form the hospital calling it a manic episode but I was ready ti take my own life just to get away from the terror in my mind. I’m still on medication but feel pretty well stabilised
Did they vaccinate him there? I've noticed the ppl in my family acting different after their shots. I'm genuinely not trying to be funny or rude or contraversial etc.
My mom especially has been short tempered and her eyesight goes in and out. It's strange.
I swear I’m going through this right now. How can I go from someone who is full of life and tons of goals… to feeling so distressed and hopeless. I don’t know what to do.
I went through this and I did it while living completely alone and I survived. It's important (if possible) to find distractions and not allow the anxiety and negative thoughts to grow by pondering on them. "look away from them" mentally. If you look a them and dwell on them, they will overwhelm you. Pray and find a task (physical task) to preoccupy your mind. The depression and anxiety will rise and fall like a roller coaster... eventually they will lesson over time. For me it took weeks.
I got covid in June 2021 and I’m feeling the same way. Nothing feels real to me. It’s like I lost a sense of myself and a sense of reality.
Just an update about a month later. I’m completely back to normal. It gets better. Stay strong ✨❤️
Take a shroom talk to your deep subconscious.
@@Nusaiba89 so glad you're feeling better 🤍 take good care
its probably from the chips their putting in our heads/brains when we go to the dentist. or maybe it can be administered through the arm through the blood stream? all i know is somethings not right, i can feel it in the air tonight lol
My husband is dealing with the same thing right now
How is he doing now? Did they treat it?
@@599dina he's doing great now. Took 4 months to get better on psy meds. He's finally off of them and living a normal life.. it was hard finding a Dr who could diagnose him but once he got on the meds he got better.
Can you share the name of doctor and meds please
Thank goodness! Thank you for replying
@@LittleCraftyKitty What med did he take? How was the first weeks for him?
This happened to me
My daughter got her 1st vaccine and 4 days later was in full blown psychosis.
How is she now?

@@vintagecrayon4504 psychosis isn't caused by "covid", it's caused by demons. Please become a Christian and find a deliverance minister to pray with you.
@@Tom-yo7zf Please educate yourself on what mental illness is first. Not everything is about your religion. Psychosis is caused by a number of factors such as pre-existing conditions, trauma, drug use, and situations like quarantine, hospitalization, and disease. You obviously know nothing about it, and have no actual grounds to speak on it.
Propaganda. This story reeks of nonsense 🤡
Um what?
This is sad & certainly possible!! This virus is nasty & no ones knows about all the affects. So sorry for the family.
and your denial reeks of fear.
@@peacewillow Nah
You are a conspiracy theorist and a disgrace! Your denial leads to death and if that happens to you. You will regret this!
Had covid psychosis. I'm not in a psychosis anymore but I'm not the same. More thought based, delusional thinking etc, paranoid, being around people is almost impossible.
Mysef
We will feel side effects of the pandemic for many years.
PLANDEMIC don’t forget that.
Same thing happened to my brother. He had covid, was very ill, when things begin to get better, was about to go back to work, he had a major pychosis episode. Was very agitated, was talking about strange things, didn't know who he was, who was our father, said he was Jesus and had to save the world. And just jumped. I'm 100% convinced that covid had some affect in his brain. He was a happy, outgoing, upbeat, athletic young man. He loved life. It was the most strange and unimaginable thing. But it did happen. There must be some families out there as confused as mine and maybe data will show up with time and at least we'll have a better understanding.
Hi! I went through the same thing with my mother. Overcame covid/pneumonia but when she came back from hospital she was acting a little different. 5 days later she went into psychosis/manic episode was saying God was talking through her and that she had to quit her job and help people. It was very strange as we never experienced this and my mom has never had any mental health problems.
Also was saying she saw relatives that had passed
@@LivingthatLife23 thanks for sharing with me. It's very good to know that this stuff is really happening. Sometimes people think it's just the sadness and pain from losing him talking. Hope you and your family are well 🤍
@@LivingthatLife23 has your mother recovered? My sister bas ben going threw this and has ben in the hospital for over week now its tearing our family up its a very real thing ive ben doing as much reading on it as i can
So sorry for your loss. My 31 yr old son n law is in a mental facility now bc of covid psychosis. It’s a real medical condition from the virus. He had a mild case with single lung pneumonia. He wasn’t sleeping well either so combination of covid and not sleeping good this happened to him. He was also vaccinated with J& J
I had a long haul version of the virus. It took all my energy for 3months. It brought on anxiety and depression way more than I had. It seemed to really clear up as I got my 1st vax and the nice weather. I’m finally feeling mostly back to normal since November
It’s your hair
I’m so sorry. Sending love to you!
Glad To See You Get Some Normalcy back in Your Life After Coronavirus,Hope You & Family Safe & Healthy 🤗
This is me now.😔
@@zoobrizz David sit down and eat your🍪🍪and drink your milk 🥛and quit trolling people. Good boy!

This is heartbreaking. Since the virus is known to attack the brain in some cases. It sounds like the Temporal lobes are being targeted. The area's that are responsible for our senses and emotions. May God be with this beautiful family during this very difficult time.
This is true, studying psychology and worst case is this mans personality was changed. Hopefully he didn’t see the 5th dimension
Went through this. Horrible experience. As my body got better my brain totally malfunctioned. Still working on coming back.
How are you now?
I prioritized water fasting. When I did eat, I only ate fruits, veggies, fresh juices (used my own juicer), took biok+, got sun daily and absolutely no processed foods. It was a weird mental thing, to the point I started to question reality. When my sense of smell came back, I considered myself healed. The a body pains lasted a day, weird shooting nerve pains in my brain for about 2 days and a fever for about 4 days. The anosmia lasted for about 2-3 weeks and the disconnected/ am I really here/is this reality type of feeling went away at that point. Weird lil man-made virus
This virus is one of the many gifts that China sent to the world.

Did you see the part in the video where this only affects 1-4% of the population? I was unfortunately part of that percentage for 18 months. Has nothing to do with a vaccine.
Doesnt mention whether or not he received a vaccine .....
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted".
You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Did anyone ever think that this person had issues to begin with?
Unless you know, you should not say that. By the way his wife describes him and his personality, I would say he had no issues. My daughter also had no issues, and there is no mental health history in my family, but less than one month from getting Covid in April, she has had to be hospitalized for severe psychosis twice, once in June and again in July, and is currently on medication. When I mean severe, I mean thinking of killing herself, seeing shadows and people who are not there, hearing voices, and thinking 'they' could read her thoughts, feeling persecuted and paranoid, believing she could predict things, then becoming catatonic, developing mutism, having seizures, losing the ability to walk, and losing her memory. That is psychosis, and that is severe. At the Children's hospital, 3 other little children were being treated with similar psychosis symptoms as my daughter (all recently sick with Covid) with one of them being as young as 10.
I had the covid psychosis also (extreme anxiety-depression) and had no underlying mental health issues. It happens from the covid virus penetrating the blood brain barrier and infecting your neurons. nasty stuff.
