First seen Mar 25, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study looks at health records of about 100,000 people in Israel to see if viral infections like COVID-19 or Epstein-Barr increase the risk of developing mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia. It also examines whether infections cause relapses in people already diagnosed with a mental illness. The goal is to identify factors that make someone more vulnerable or resilient, but this is an observational study, not a treatment trial.
