Salud Talks Podcast Episode 26: “Mindfulness During an Epidemic”

Share On Social!

Last week, we began a discussion on how people across the country are experiencing new levels of anxiety and depression amid this global pandemic.

Unique stressors, such as sheltering in place the time or experiencing new financial struggles, are causing issues in most homes throughout the U.S. While these problems might not be resolved in the near future, as civic and business leaders deal with the consequences of the outbreak, it is essential that Latinos and all Americans find ways to battle back against these mental health complications.

Dr. Sarah Knoeckel, a Nurse Practitioner and an Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing at UT Health San Antonio returns to discuss how mental health should not be stigmatized and how we all can practice wellness techniques.

• Why is it important, more so now than ever in our lifetimes, for folks to take their mental health seriously — is there a societal benefit to people taking care of themselves.
• Can events, such as WWII or 9/11, cause huge numbers of the population to undergo mental health issues that will need addressing later on?
