From a dry cough to a loss of sense of smell, coronavirus is known to be associated with a range of unpleasant symptoms. Now, a new study has warned that having Covid-19 also increases your risk of developing psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression and insomnia.

Scientists from the University of Oxford analysed electronic health records of 69 million people in the USA, including over 62,000 Covid-19 patients.
