Description

Despite mass vaccinations and lower rates of infections in the U.S., the post-COVID-19 recovery is far from over. This includes Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, to new or continuing symptoms with little to no relief available. Today, we’ll talk about the lingering physical and emotional effects of COVID-19, and how we can get to a place where those afflicted can heal. Our guests are Dr. Jonathan Sherin, director of Mental Health for Los Angeles County, and Fiona Lowenstein, a COVID-19 survivor who started a support group for those who continue to endure its aftermath.More reading:‘I was just bawling in my PPE’: Surge fades, but anguish remains for healthcare workers Signs of depression have tripled in the U.S. since the COVID-19 pandemic got underwayOp-Ed: The kids who aren’t all right — the pandemic’s lasting toll on youth mental health
