Manage episode 335525506 series 3375216
We are joined this week by Dr. Hardeep Singh for an in depth discussion about the effects of COVID-19 in regards to addiction, recovery and mental health.
There have been recent reports of a spike in alcohol sales, drug overdoses and an increase in suicidal ideation since this Coronavirus surfaced. With many people forced into isolation, family members unable to see loved their ones, and others facing job loss, mental health professionals are positioned to help with the current mental health of Americans. However, mental health professionals and medical professionals alike are reporting that they too, are experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout and fatigue.
This podcast was started to get the word out that recovery is possible, no matter what situation you may find yourself in. Whether you are struggling with addiction yourself or you are the family member/friend of someone who is suffering, please know that there is hope for recovery.
