Mental Health Awareness During COVID-19 | Dr Jacqueline Cheung (Psychiatrist)

Описание: It comes to no surprise that the past two years have been hard on everyone. The implementation of restrictive public health measures, and the loss of livelihoods as a result of the pandemic has brought about a great increase in stressors to the population! It is important to take time to care for our mental health during such periods.

Remember, you are not alone. If you are feeling very low, there is no shame in seeking help. Talk to a trusted friend, family member or healthcare professional. There is help in your community.

In this video, we interview Dr Jacqueline Cheung, a psychiatrist based in Cebu, Philippines. She articulates how the pandemic has changed the way we live and affected our mental health on the individual level, as well as on the family unit and even on the public as a whole. At the end, she gives some tips on how we can build mental resilience in these trying times.
