Part 1 of 2

Dr. Beach and Kate discuss the mental impact of the Coronavirus. Our heads are spinning. Our emotions are in flux — anxiety, depression, loneliness, isolation. And to date, the primary focus has been on our physical health and the associated risks, yet we also need to know how to practice good mental health hygiene. As this pandemic evolves, we will continue to discuss the importance of the mind-body connection — our physical health impacts our mental health and our mental health equally impacts our physical health. This episode covers important tips on ways to maintain our mental health and the ripple effects it can have on our relationships, families, jobs, and the economy. So, let’s keep washing our hands and practice social distancing, but also make sure we work on being as mentally healthy and resilient as possible.
