According to the Canadian Psychological Association, "Infectious diseases, like any life stressor, challenge the way we cope. Whether we learn about them on television or experience them personally, we can feel upset, fearful and anxious as a result, both for our own personal safety and that of our family, friends, colleagues, and community. Stressful events can also bring up feelings and memories of previous traumatic events thereby compounding the distress that we feel.
Dr. Mike Dadson identifies “Assessing and coping with risk stress during an infectious disease outbreak can include: Fear and worry about your own health and the health of your loved ones, changes in sleep or eating patterns, difficulty sleeping or concentrating, worsening of chronic health problems Increased use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs”
Dr. Dadson believes "This Fact Sheet is an important read for everyone. The first step towards getting to your ideal life is realizing and accepting where you are now. Stress can sometimes affect us in ways we don't recognize and it is important to treat the core issues. Often we think deterioration of our health, challenges such as relationship or marital problems, alcohol and substance abuse, sex and love addiction, eating disorders etc., are the root of our problems and that there is no hope. These are often just symptoms of underlying stress, that we have not realized we are experiencing and are very capable of facing."
Nothing is more important than your health and that starts with a healthy mind.
