How has the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped our mental health landscape?

Koenen brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, discussing the emotional toll many have faced, from feelings of sadness and loneliness to a pervasive sense of depletion. She dives into the complexities of resilience, emphasizing that while it's crucial for coping with trauma, it’s influenced by a myriad of factors. Beyond individual resilience, Dr. Koenen highlights the need for community and systemic support, advocating for mental wellness programs that operate on multiple levels.
Access to mental health care is another pressing issue she addresses, noting the barriers many face due to a shortage of providers who accept insurance. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Koenen underscores the importance of self-care practices like gratitude and compassion, sharing her own tips for managing stress. The episode wraps up on an optimistic note, celebrating the resilience shown by individuals and communities amid these trying times.
