The joy of recovery from the COVID-19 may fade due to prolonged fatigue and pain that can linger for months. Mental health issues constitute a separate aspect.
In the first three months after being infected, according to studies (Pubmed, August 2021), the most common problems were:
- anxiety (6,5% – 63%),
- depression (4% – 31%),
- post-traumatic stress disorder (12,1% – 46,9%).
Decreased quality of life was generally recorded for three or more months after COVID-19.
What should you know, and how can you support yourself/your colleagues/loved ones in this tough period?
At the meeting with Anastasiia Nizhnik, psychologist and CBT consultant, we will discuss:
- the most common mental health effects for those who recovered from COVID-19,
- ways to support yourself in the post-COVID period,
- ways to tackle worry and anxiety in times of global uncertainty that the pandemic still generates.
The meeting will be moderated by Dmytro Tuzov, NV Radio host.
