What To Expect When The Virus Is Gone But COVID Trauma Goes On

Look, we’re all going to be messed up for a while from COVID. Some of us a lot, some of us a little, some for a very long time, others for not as long. But it’s trauma. It’s an event more powerful than the brain can handle and that means mental health repercussions down the road. So let’s talk about what might happen. Dr. Ken Duckworth, medical director of NAMI, provides insight into how trauma works. Then therapist Dr. Ksera Dyette tells us the trauma signs she’s already seeing in her practice.Visit the National Alliance on Mental Illness or NAMI here.Visit Dr. Dyette's website here as well as her COVID-19 Resources page here.
