Biologic Evidence May Reshape Long-COVID Diagnosis and Care

Long COVID does not have a primarily psychosomatic cause, according to the AWMF S1 guideline for Long/Post-COVID.

Psychological comorbidities, including anxiety and depression, should be described as reactive consequences rather than causal factors.

Treatment is symptom oriented and follows a biopsychosocial framework.

Distinguishing PEM from fatigue is critical, with pacing maintained within individual energy limits to prevent symptom worsening.

Biologic Evidence May Reshape Long-COVID Diagnosis and Care

Researchers have reported biologic abnormalities in long COVID, challenging the view that symptoms are primarily psychosomatic.

Clinical Implications

Despite the increasing development of diagnostic questionnaires and therapeutic approaches, Gogoll and Scheibenbogen emphasized that one key issue remains underrecognized: the need to destigmatize long COVID. Because clinical findings are often unremarkable, symptoms are often attributed to psychological causes. Physicians were urged to take individuals seriously, ensure interdisciplinary care, and pursue further training in PAIS.
