Coping through Covid with Dr Hilary Jones

It’s coming up to 2 years since the first known case of the coronavirus was identified in Wuhan, China. Since then, the disease has spread worldwide, leading to an ongoing pandemic. 
When zooming out globally although we can say a lot may have escaped becoming physically unwell, there are few of us that have escaped the adverse effects it has had on our mental health. 

Dr Hilary Jones is a well-known face on UK breakfast TV and can be seen almost daily advising the British public on health matters for Good Morning Britain and Lorraine. The ITV doctor has never been busier and more of a source of information and comfort to the nation than he has in the last 20 months. 

In this conversation about covid and the mental health crisis, Dr Hilary discusses the mental health impact of long covid, advises on how to best communicate with your GP’s receptionist to ensure you get an appointment to be seen (which due to the pandemic continues to be a major challenge) and explains why perspective and patience are still so important right now.
