Stress is a natural reaction to the pandemic that has turned our lives upside down. Finances, family, fear of exposure and the host of other COVID-related stressors can lead to feelings of irritability, anxiousness, loneliness, isolation and a general lack of control. Stress can have adverse health effects long-term. But it is possible to reign in that stress before it consumes you.
In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Scripps psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Brackin discuss different coping mechanisms to deal with stress, such as keeping in touch with loved ones, deep breathing exercises, connecting with nature, adding more structure to your daily routine to create a sense of normalcy, or reaching out to your physician or psychiatrist for help.
