Long Covid affects up to one-third of survivors. Long Covid involves many possible brain-based impacts that may be affecting your clients. In addition, mental health providers can carry the stress from the pandemic not only for themselves, but in the form of secondary traumatization when their clients are affected by Covid. This presentation by two psychiatrists will review these topics in the literature, with a focus on the psychiatric sequelae of the pandemic and characteristics of long Covid that may be impacting your psychotherapy clients.
