S1 | Ep. 4: Mental Health impacted by COVID-19

45 minutes

In this episode we will be talking about the effects of COVID-19 on mental health. We’re now in the phase in which many people across the globe have been vaccinated and slowly but surely restrictions are eased across countries. But looking back, what impact did the pandemic have on mental health? And what can we do to recover whilst transitioning to a new normal? So, as I'm recording this I am literally self isolating for the 7th time in a period of 10 months given that I moved countries during the pandemic. And with that I have gotten so used to working from home and living in my tiny bubble, that I am slightly anxious on what a going back to f2f work life would look like.

So, in this episode I am joined by doctor Keri Wong, Assistant Professor of Psychology at University College London. She forms part of a group of experts from who are conducting a UCL-Penn global covid study and elaborates on the outcomes and insights of the 3 measurement points of the study so far.
