As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact us on a daily basis, many of us may be feeling mentally tired or even "burned out" from this situation. In this COVID-19 Mental Health Forum, Dr. Gregory Fricchione joins Dr. Kristina Korte for a discussion about the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic on brain health and by extension on general health. This forum addresses the central role played by a low resilience to stress ratio before, during and after COVID-19 infection. The forum discusses the promise of promoting health and preventing illness and keeping the brain healthy by enhancing the resilience to stress ratio. This discussion provides helpful tips for keeping the brain healthy and is designed for patients, family members, frontline clinicians, hospital staff and the community at large in the time of COVID-19. The event concludes with a Q&A session with attendees.
