Risks & Consequences of COVID-19 on Mental Health

$129.99 Standard
Also Available: DVD

Expert Clinician Sonata Bohen, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and NEI Master Psychopharmacologist, knows well the challenges you are facing in practice right now.  You, too, are seeing patients experiencing increasing levels of social isolation, unemployment and financial concerns, domestic abuse and resulting mental health diagnoses, particularly amongst our most vulnerable patient populations.  

As the insidious effects of Covid-19 are taking place all across the country, those physical symptoms must be managed, just as well as we are learning how to.  As if all of that was not challenging enough, there are more and more Covid-19 patient cases where unanticipated interactions with psychotropic medications are taking place, increased incidence of drug induced delirium and for a long list of reasons, mental health needs, in general, are requiring our very careful attention.

There has not been a time of greater responsibility for patients – in terms of both their critical physical and mental health needs.  You must make time to join Sonata as she hits the practical highlights to help guide important decisions you are making for patients during this pandemic.  She knows that we are all in this together…
