A mental health “echo pandemic” in the aftermath of COVID-19?
Saba Eitizaz speaks to two mental health experts about how we can get through this safely, cope with the depression and the anxiety—and whether Canada is ready to deal with the long-term consequences of COVID-19, and an impending mental health crisis. Dr. Laura Hawryluck is Associate Professor of Critical Care at the University of Toronto and an attending physician at Toronto Western Hospital. Dr. Rima Styra is Associate Professor of Psychiatry at U of T. Both of them published a joint research from the frontlines on the effects of quarantine in Ontario during the SARS epidemic.
