COVID-19 and psychiatry - A 'best of' episode

Wednesday, July 1, 2020

This week we decided to revisit three of the Psychcast episodes that examined various aspects of COVID-19. First, you will hear excerpts from the interview that host Lorenzo Norris, MD, did with Sheldon H. Preskorn, MD, on educating patients about SARS-CoV-2 and the disease. Next, Jay H. Shore, MD, MPH, conducts a Masterclass lecture on factors to consider while using telepsychiatry during the pandemic.

And later, guest host Jacqueline Posada, MD, talks with Lynne S. Gots, PhD, about using cognitive-behavior therapy to treat patients with anxiety.
