I thought I was depressed, but recently realised that I’m actually feeling off because of long COVID symptoms. The brain fog is pretty much constant, and I’m definitely more forgetful and confused than I used to be. There are some cardiac symptoms as well, but those interfere less with my day to day. I’d love to find a way out of this state, but it seems that my doctor doesn’t keep up with the latest research, and doesn’t seem to think that long COVID symptoms are a thing…

I have a similar experience, albeit with a different set of symptoms. I've been active and athletic all my life, never a problem with my blood pressure, after Covid I now permanently have high blood pressure and need to treat for it. All the doctors I've seen tell me that no, Covid doesn't do that, even though there's a clear cut line of before and after.

"Strong arguments support the thesis that, through various mechanisms, COVID-19 infection can contribute to the development of hypertension." [1]

At least some of the literature points in that direction. Have your doctors read the literature and concluded it's not a thing or did they just wing it because Googling is hard?

Your brian fog more than likely comes from excess inflammatory cytokines as a result of specific T-cell populations depleted by covid.

Maybe try fixing that by regenerating part of your thymus glad with growth hormone—-either endogenous via HIIT workouts or externally administered (see the TRIIM trial).
