The PDB Show: Ep 278 Brain Health Monday: From Socially Distanced to Socially Awkward

The psychological challenges of a years-long pandemic are huge, but many practitioners feel they aren’t being addressed at all. The issue that I haven’t read a lot about, in relation to reintegrating after the lockdowns, is the psychological distress brought on by making major readjustments in life called re-entry syndrome.
