COVID-19 and Mental Health: Where do we go from here? - Episode 67 - The Oxford Comment by Oxford Academic (OUP) published on 2021-11-22T20:51:37Z The effects of COVID-19 reach far beyond mortality, triggering widespread economic and sociopolitical consequences. It is unsurprising to learn, after everything that has transpired in the past two years, that COVID-19 has also had a detrimental effect on our mental health. Recent studies in the US and UK have shown a huge increase in the number of adults who have experienced symptoms of an anxiety or depressive disorder over pre-pandemic figures. On today’s episode, we spoke with Professor Seamas Donnelly, editor of QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, and Dr. John C. Markowitz, author of "In the Aftermath of the Pandemic: Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD", to explore the factors behind these figures, COVID-19’s impact on our mental health, and where we go from here.
