The Long COVID syndrome has now been documented clearly in the literature, but whether or not psychiatric symptoms are prominent is unclear. We performed a retrospective chart review of all patients receiving medical care during the pandemic in an outpatient Long-COVID specialty clinic that serves a large racial and ethnic minority population. As many as 44% of patients had symptoms that necessitated referrals to psychiatrists, predominantly depression or anxiety. Spanish speaking patients had greater COVID severity (48%) than did predominantly English speakers (15%). We conclude that the long COVID syndrome is predominantly a cluster of physical symptoms that are sequelae of the viral infection.
长新冠综合征在文献中已有明确记载，但精神症状是否突出尚不清楚。我们对一家为多族裔服务的大型长新冠专科门诊在大流行期间接受医疗的所有患者进行了回顾性图表审查。多达 44%的患者出现了需要转介给精神科医生的症状，主要是抑郁或焦虑。讲西班牙语的患者的 COVID-19 严重程度（48%）高于主要讲英语的患者（15%）。我们的结论是，长新冠综合征主要是一系列病毒感染后遗症的躯体症状。
