I really liked hearing about the positive aspects of video visits (meeting pets and family, seeing the patient environment, etc). The alternative physical visits require everything to go through the patient’s words, and we know what a filter that can be.
I would love for him to unpack "Lack of access to care"
Thank you so much. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Yellowlees for keeping me informed. I relate to all of the things he discussed. It was so educational and made me feel grateful as I look forward to a better future post-pandemic.
I agree children are some of the biggest losers as a result of this pandemic. It’s so sad just how much my kids have lost out over the last year…
A well though out interview. Good questions and though invoking answers.
For adults, problem is lack of work/revenue, which leads to unavoidable mental issues.
Great Video thanks
I suspect loss of community/tribe contributes. Let those you care for know it!
If I were stranded on a deserted island one of the “books” I would bring would include all of the transcripts from the medcram videos! Thank you
31:10 the meat of the issues in many of our jobs are listed out right here. Emotional depletion. Detachment and cynicism, and low personal achievement. Feeling no matter what you do or how hard you try, nothing ever changes for the better long term.
why would "lack of access to care" cause an increased incidence of COVID in people of color? Makes no sense.
Thanks for watching and subscribing. See all MedCram interviews and COVID-19 updates at our website: https://www.medcram.com/courses/coronavirus-outbreak-symptoms-treatment
Unusually sensible for a psychiatrist. Must be Australian. 🙂
Portions of this content should be on primetime news. Also, who the crap are the 5 ppl giving this a thumbs down??
Excellent questions; thoughtful, to the point, and well explained answers. Can’t ask for more than that! Thanks for this video.
Yes, a great deal of "moral injury" due to denial of outpatient treatment!!!!
My mother, a retired RN, may God rest her soul, used to say, isolation leads to depression, depression leads to poor health, and poor health leads to an early death.
I’m delighted that Dr. Yellowlees was clear about the difference between the much-abused term "Social distancing" and what is actually needed, which is PHYSICAL distancing. It has been a pet peeve of mine since I first heard the former incorrectly applied.
Thank you for touching upon the topic of mental health during the pandemic. It’s so important right now!
In the old days doctors used to come to our house to treat.
We’re all mammals, but not all mammals are the same! I enjoy my solitude!
