COVID-19 survivors are susceptible to psychological disorders including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Citing Reuters, a survey of 402 COVID-19 patients monitored by the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan showed that women experienced higher rates of anxiety and depression.

Anxiety disorders were the most prevalent psychological problem, affecting 42 percent of patients. Sleep disorders or insomnia affected 40 percent of COVID-19 patients. In addition to these two psychological disorders, patients also experienced depression, PTSD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder at rates of 31 percent, 28 percent, and 20 percent, respectively.

The psychological disorders experienced by COVID-19 survivors are triggered by psychological stressors such as stigma, social isolation, and fear of infecting others.
