I’m an adult male who had severe negative lasting psychological changes (panic disorder, GAD, depression) after a bout with pneumonia and I can assure you my symptoms aren’t “fake”. Nor was it due to the fear of having pneumonia, as the psychological symptoms started before before my physical symptoms appeared.

You sound like an ignorant person who’s been lucky enough to avoid some of the meaner curveballs life can throw at a person. I believe the covid long-haulers. It took me years to recover my mental health to “almost baseline” and I will probably be on SSRIs the rest of my life.
