Your Child's Brain

March marks five years since much of the United States was under a state of emergency due to the infectious disease, COVID-19 and the virus that causes it, SARS-CoV-2. Thankfully, primarily due to vastly improved immunity resulting from vaccines and natural immunity, the mortality of COVID-19 has dropped significantly. But one of the most challenging consequences of the infection is the condition we refer to now as long COVID, a disabling legacy of the pandemic, and the focus of this month’s episode of Your Child’s Brain---especially as it relates to children. Listen to Dr. Brad Schlaggar and his guest, Dr. Laura Malone as they discuss what we have learned in the past five years and what is on the future for treating children with this condition.
