The World Health Organization (2022) found global confirmed cases of people with\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), also known as severe acute respiratory syndrome\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecoronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), had reached over 536 million with over 6.3 million reported\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edeaths from this disease. As of April 2023, an estimated 104 million Americans had been\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einfected with COVID-19 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2023b).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost people who have been infected with COVID-19 recover within a few days or few\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eweeks after the initial infection with holistic support, treatment, rest, and gradual return to daily\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eactivities (Greenhalgh et al., 2020). However, a significant number of people do not recover and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econtinue to experience enduring health problems and complications often for weeks, months, or\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elonger after the onset of the original virus (Ahmad et al., 2022; Blitshteyn \u0026amp; Whitelaw, 2021;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCenters for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022c; Chen et al., 2021; Hernandez-Romieu at al., \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2022; Sathish et al., 2021; Wong \u0026amp; Weitzer, 2021). According to a recent data analyzed by the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCDC's National Center for Health Statistics, about 7.5% of adults in the United States (1 in every\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e13 people) continue to suffer lingering symptoms of COVID-19, often referred to as \"long\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCOVID\" (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022). These individuals are known as\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCOVID long-haulers; the long-term symptoms are collectively referred to as 'long COVID' or\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epost-COVID conditions (PCC) (Soriano et al., 2022).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany long COVID patients experience persistent and potentially debilitating post-COVID\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esymptoms, which puts them at an increased risk for chronic medical conditions or long-term\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edisability due to neurological or physical impairment (CDC, 2020b; Couzin-Frankel, 2020; Office\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efor National Statistics, 2021). Moreover, in addition to these physical detriments, a significant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eproportion struggle with mental health issues such as anxiety disorders and depression (McCorkell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eet al., 2020; Schou et al., 2021; Taquet et al., 2021). This is not surprising, considering that the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eacquisition of a chronic illness or disability (CID) is life-changing and can have an enormous\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eimpact on an individual's mental health and quality of life. Given the increasing number of individuals\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand their families impacted by the effects of long COVID, it is evident that this condition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erequires sustained attention and research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ganesh P.
