As the number of cases of COVID-19 increase, so does the associated anxiety. For the general public, the mental health effects of COVID-19 are as important to address as are the physical health effects. For one in five who already have mental health conditions - or the one in two who are at risk of developing them - we need to take personal, professional, and policy measures now to address them.

We speak with Dr. DeLillo-Story and learn how to identify and name the emotions that we are experiencing and talk about how best to help each other.
