No question is off-limits as we tackle hot topics including children's face masks, the stress from the ongoing lockdowns, and the long-term emotional effects of the coronavirus pandemic, especially on our youth. According to CNN, 'Experts have warned that the pandemic could lead to a mental health crisis. Mass unemployment, social isolation, and anxiety are taking their toll on people globally.' Today, we're thrilled to speak with Dr. Mark McDonald, a clinical psychiatrist, and medical-legal expert who specializes in child and adolescent psychiatry. He trained in both at UCLA and achieved double board certification. Dr. McDonald's work has been widely published in local and national news, including the Wall Street Journal. He shares his opinions on topics such as the need to re-open America's schools, and the pandemic of fear plaguing the United States today.

Dr. McDonald deciphers the difference between the emotional effects of a virus versus a lockdown, the effects of school closures on children, the physical, psychological and emotional dangers of long-term mask-wearing, and experimental vaccine risks. In fact, government statistics from Japan reveal that more lives were lost from suicide in October 2020 than Covid-19 claimed over the entire year.  Dr. McDonald explains why we need to prioritize self-care and leaves us with suggested protocols and supplements to improve one's immune system.
