I think grandpa of my girlfriend is going through something similar, COVID changed his mental state significantly (he is sick right now and getting additional oxygen).

Before that he was calm and kind to his daughter but now he is really aggressive (verbally attacks everybody who want to help) and depressed (does not eat and drink and says he “just wants to die”)

It looks really strange and not normal.

Might have something to do with the shame people might feel upon knowing they contracted COVID, and a relative inability to process those emotions in a helpful manner. This may be more common in those who previously saw themselves as masters of their own destiny who are now reliant on help.
