I read several pop science books about the neuroscience of smell a while back (before COVID), and several of them mentioned research that linked anosmia and subsequent onset of depression (and I believe there was some discussion of anosmia from aging and a possible link to dementia and other aging diseases).
Do people see this with anosmia linked to COVID and is there any research happening on this? I feel like it would be useful for people with COVID anosmia to know about this phenomena if it's thought to be a real thing.
