In this Danish nationwide cohort study, overall risk of new-onset mental disorders in SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals did not exceed the risk among individuals with negative test results (except for those aged ≥70 years). However, when hospitalized, patients with COVID-19 had markedly increased risk compared with the general population, but comparable to risk among patients hospitalized for non-COVID-19 infections. Future studies should include even longer follow-up time and preferentially include immunological biomarkers to further investigate the impact of infection severity on postinfectious mental disorder sequelae.
