Abstract
Long COVID can have many long-lasting implications on both your physical and mental health. It is important to focus on your mental wellbeing as it can help you better cope with the physical struggles of Long COVID. This may help you to better focus on relationships, day to day activities, life satisfaction, and yourself. This guide is intended to: ● Support Long COVID patients with mental health resources, tools and techniques that have helped others – though it’s worth remembering that not everything will work for everyone, and anything mentioned in this guide is intended to be used as a recommendation, not enforced prescription ● Help families and friends to understand Long COVID and its invisible effects on mental health, and how to start a conversation as an emotional support network ● Inform universities and places of work on what kind of help and support students and employees with Long COVID might need. Some of the stigmas associated with Long COVID and mental health are also shared with other chronic conditions. People might not understand what is “wrong” with you, or that it’s not something you necessarily recover from. The limited clinical knowledge of Long COVID also means that patients often end up having to make a lot of effort to get competent medical care.
