Post-covid parosmia in the clinical psychologist practice
Abstract
The paper analyzed current data confirming the effect of coronavirus infection of a new type of COVID-19 on the state of the human central nervous system. Particular attention is paid to cases of developing a change in sense of smell (parosmia), arising against the background of the complete disappearance of specific coronavirus symptoms, manifesting two or more months after the disease and defined by the author as "post-ovoid parosmia." The author developed a program of psychocorrectional effects on patients with this type of disorders, which includes methods of psychotherapy, relaxation techniques, olfactory training.
