I think this is a cutting edge basic science question. From what I can tell (eg this 2021 review) we are still in the early stages of understanding the link between inflammation and depression in the first place. Similar with COVID-19, though even more nascent.

In general NSAIDs have not been found to effectively treat depression or COVID-19. They have been extensively studied and I suspect we would have discovered a correlation if one existed.

What about for something like encephalitis caused by a UTI or other infections in the elderly?

He’s not asking if it treats depression or Covid, just the inflammation associated with those thingsz

I assumed that one would care about disease-related inflammation in order to treat the symptoms of the disease, but yes
