We don't want to get caught with our pants down again. Yeah, and I would also say that that we have had a tremendous number of deaths, and the people who are close to the people who have died, they've lost all access to the normal processes of grief.
The COVID-19 pandemic has left an indelible mark on every corner of the globe, impacting our mental health in profound ways. In this episode of 'The Beyond Addiction Show', Dr. Josh King sits down with Dr. David Yusko to unpack the collective trauma we're all grappling with and how it might lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Dr. Yusko offers practical advice on safeguarding our mental well-being and what steps to take if we're already feeling overwhelmed by traumatic responses.
The conversation highlights the critical role of social support and the unique challenges faced by healthcare workers and essential personnel. They also dive into the accessibility of mental health services and the evolving landscape of telehealth during these unprecedented times. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the mental health implications of the pandemic and find ways to foster resilience. As Dr. Yusko poignantly notes, 'We don't want to get caught with our pants down again'.
