The emotional and mental health impacts of the novel coronavirus are now being manifest every day.

Tips and Resources

The World Health Organization reports “COVID-19 can cause neurological manifestations, including headache, impaired sense of smell and taste, agitation, delirium, stroke and meningoencephalitis. Underlying neurological conditions increase the risk of hospitalization for COVID-19, especially for older adults.

Stress, social isolation, and violence in the family are likely to affect brain health and development in young children and adolescents. Social isolation, reduced physical activity, and reduced intellectual stimulation increase the risk of cognitive decline and dementia in older adults.”
