Tip of the Day
“Pandemics are unlike other disasters due to their broad scope and prolonged, fluctuating timeline. COVID-19 (caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus) is shaping up to be unlike prior coronavirus infections, impacting multiple organ systems, not just the lungs, causing widespread problems related to blood clotting abnormalities and inflammatory reactions.
“In particular, the virus crosses the blood-brain barrier, resulting in myriad neuropsychiatric problems ranging from depression and anxiety to psychotic reactions to delirium and cerebrovascular accidents (strokes) to chronic executive dysfunction. The mental health impact of COVID-19 is of increasing concern. In addition to the direct effects on the brain, the COVID-19 pandemic is causing unprecedented psychological distress, threatening a “crashing wave” of mental health problems.”
COVID-19
presents a unique array of depression symptoms, collectively known as
COVID
Stress Syndrome.
Mention to your doctor or psychologist if you think you're suffering
from anxiety or depression or any mental health effects of COVID –
not of “having” COVID, but of coping in a world where fearing and
guarding against COVID is a daily reality.
