Have you had Covid? Long-Covid can manifest as brain fog or the inability to focus, get frustrated, or become panic about it. I’ve known a few people who had Covid and the following year suffer from undiagnosed long-covid brain fog and anhedonia.

To be fair, this could also be the effects of Covid isolation. Getting cut off from socialization and physical activity for years on end is a surefire way to induce a depressive episode in the healthiest of minds. Not everyone's made out to tend a lighthouse.
This very well may be an effect of isolation. Or loneliness. It can manifest as a depression or an attention deficit because the body isn't getting what it needs. Connection with others. We are a social species afterall.
