Mental symptoms in post-COVID syndrome and post-COVID-19 vaccination syndrome: results of a representative population survey

These findings highlight how difficult it is to distinguish PCS from PCVS and emphasize the need to consider alternative explanations, such as undiagnosed depressive disorders, in clinical assessments.
