COVID-19 and Brain Health: Enhancing the Resilience to Stress Ratio
July 29, 2020 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
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. Karestan Koenen hosts Dr. Gregory Fricchione for a discussion about the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic on brain health and by extension on general health. This forum will address the central role played by a low resilience to stress ratio before, during and after COVID-19 infection. The forum will discuss the promise of promoting health and preventing illness and keeping the brain healthy by enhancing the resilience to stress ratio. This discussion will provide 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 will conclude with a Q&A session with attendees.
