Livestream Event: Managing Stress and Anxiety
Date
Location
Overview
Everyone experiences stress from time to time, and it is normal to experience a range of emotions, including fear, anxiety, and grief. However, long-term stress can impact your health. The added uncertainty surrounding the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is also stressful for many people.
People who suffer from anxiety disorders may also be experiencing a heightened level of anxiety. For those who suffer from an anxiety disorder, the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time if not treated.
To kick-off the new year, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) hosted a livestream event on managing stress and anxiety on Thursday, January 14, 2021, from 1:00 – 1:30 p.m. ET. During this event, Krystal Lewis, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist at NIMH, discussed coping techniques on how to maintain your mental health during the pandemic and when to get professional help.
