I have adhd, bipolar, mood disorder, and major depression. I am planning to get the covid vaccine, but i am honestly so scared of the outcome afterwards. I am afraid if it will worsen my mental disorders because its already bad as it is for me on focusing, concentration, and am still in depression state.what are your thoughts? I been searching and can not find any info about this. I am just scared because i have read that people who are healthy who got the vaccine, they started experiencing some type of mental issues.
