Ep 12: How Covid-19 has affected our mental health
Today on News From The Frontline we look at the impact of Covid-19 on mental health. We explore how multiple loss, unemployment, stress and isolation - among other things - has exposed the state of mental health in the country and resulted in shared trauma and strain. Following President Cyril Ramaphosa’s initial 21-day lockdown announcement on 23 March 2020 as a measure to flatten the curve of Covid-19 infections, call volumes to the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG for short) doubled. In this episode we speak to Cassey Chambers from The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) and clinical psychologist Dr Erica Munnik.
