ok can someone tell me why my sense of smell is so spotty? ever since the pandemic / my first bouts with covid, i just assumed my sense of smell had been permanently dampened.

But im noticing that my senses of both taste & smell get better when I pull myself away from studying and socialize with friends for at least a day or two after.

all that to ask— can sensitivity to smell (and taste) be a depression thing?????

#google is giving me very academic responses #and while they're very cool they do not tackle the issue with any psychiatric or psychological responses #and also are inconclusive as to whether decreased sense of smell was instead the causal factor for depression #im mostly asking for anecdotal experience here
