Despite being severely unwell @katiamek.bsky.social spent her precious energy to speak out about this negligent treatment she’s been through in an effort to stop others experiencing the same. time.com/7206080/long...
A screenshot of the article with the text: Katiana Mekka, a 26-year-old Long COVID patient from Greece, says education is especially needed outside the U.S. Last fall, she says, she was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward and held for three days, until she passed a thorough screening test for mental-health disorders. The ordeal worsened her already severe illness, leaving her virtually unable to eat, move, or talk for days after. "These illnesses are so mistreated and misdiagnosed," Mekka says, adding that so few doctors in Greece know about Long COVID that she has been forced to seek virtual support from specialists in other countries. "The patients that I know, we all have so much will to live and so many dreams. This is not a mental issue. We have severe symptoms."
