ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant number of individuals experiencing the loss of smell and taste, medically known as anosmia and ageusia, respectively. While many patients recover these senses during the post-acute phase of the illness, a subset of individuals continues to suffer from anosmia and ageusia even after recovering from COVID-19. This article aims to explore the psychological state of COVID patients who have not regained their sense of smell and taste post-recovery, highlighting the potential impact on their mental health and overall well-being. To accomplish this, a comprehensive review of existing literature on the topic has been conducted, analyzing studies and reports that shed light on the psychological consequences of unrecovered anosmia and ageusia in COVID patients.
