The coronavirus pandemic has forced many of us to reveal details of our medical history that are considered high risk factors for poor outcomes from a COVID19 infection. This situation has generated emotional disruption and stress in our lives as we try to follow medical advice to keep safe and protected. This is added to the baseline changes that autoimmune diseases and the medications used to treat them have on our brain function responsible for a variety of mental symptoms, which not infrequently require professional attention.   Join me in conversation with Dr. Ahmed Hankir, a medical specialist who practices Psychiatry in London.  Ahmed is a very vocal advocate for bringing awareness about  the social stigma that makes mental disease so difficult to diagnose and treat in a timely fashion.
