'An essential guide' (Dr Mark Hyman, author of Young Forever) to
navigating life with the cognitive and mental health impairments
that often accompany Long Covid. Early in the Covid-19 pandemic,
the shocking mortality figures obscured the fact that death is not
the only adverse outcome associated with the virus. Today, as many
as 30 to 50 percent of Covid-19 survivors still experience symptoms
long after their acute illness has passed, with problems especially
prominent in the areas of cognitive and mental health. For long
haulers, this struggle with Long Covid has irrevocably changed
their lives. Many have lost their ability to work, attend school,
or look after their children. They often feel misunderstood and
dismissed by others. Their once-full lives are now filled only with
doctors' appointments that seem more and more futile. In Clearing
the Fog, neuropsychologist Dr. James C. Jackson offers people
suffering from Long Covid and their families a roadmap to help them
manage their 'new normal'. Focussing on cognitive impairment and
mental health issues, he shows readers: - the ways they can
manifest and disrupt - suggestions for how and when to seek
professional evaluations - science-based treatment options and
strategies - information on navigating health care systems and
disability insurance - validation and hope as patients wrestle with
their new diagnosis In addition, Dr Jackson shares his own
experience with chronic illness , relating to long haulers with
vulnerability and compassion. Through moving stories, as well as
hands-on guidance, Clearing the Fog will help long haulers
understand their current situation while offering multiple ways to
address it, make sense of it, and move through it with the goal of
thriving instead of merely surviving.
