Episode # 73: After months of isolation due to the pandemic, researchers are beginning to identify the developmental impact the forced isolation is having on our society.
From increased substance abuse, body dysmorphia, depression, anxiety, cyber bullying and an erosion of our interpersonal communication skills.
