Episode 53: Staying Mentally Healthy During the Pandemic.

Fear and worry play a major role during the Covid-19 pandemic.  Concern over contracting the virus, the change in our day-to-day lives, and the unpredictability of what life will be like tomorrow and the day after, has ignited feelings of stress and anxiety for many of us.  Dr. Pablo Ibanez, Outpatient Psychiatry Medical Director at SBH's Behavioral Health clinic, discusses the state of mental health at this time and provides some critical self help tips.
