If you are having trouble coping with the coronavirus, you are not alone. We are all in this together. But just like the coronavirus makes some people physically sicker than others, living with a pandemic is more emotionally upsetting to some people than others.
Don’t wait to seek help. Some self-help links are below. If this is not enough, or if you are having trouble sleeping, if you feel that you are becoming depressed, or if you cannot stop worrying and need someone to talk to, please schedule an appointment today.
If you are feeling suicidal, reach out today for help.
