Book Description
How does a nation, a world, respond to one of the great existential crisis of our times? With the logic of a lawyer and the scientific expertise of an immunologist, Hugh McTavish, J.D., Ph.D., walks us through the COVID-19 pandemic in both scientific and human terms, beyond the simple metrics of case and death counts to the far more devastating consequences of our social response to this disease. His careful review of the scientific evidence related to COVID-19 transmission and his analysis of the human and economic costs of our lockdown response to this scourge reveal both the distressing dysfunctionality of our governing elite as well as an unexpected path forward to making enlightened policy decisions that offer the hope of solutions to our greatest and most enduring national and global challenges.

Book Description
The COVID-19 pandemic was a global crisis that affected millions of lives and brought mental health challenges to the forefront. In Hong Kong, the situation was worsened by uniquely strict COVID-19 regulations, quarantine measures, and travel restrictions. The mental health issues associated with the pandemic did not end with the lifting of the mask mandate. On the contrary, the repercussions are only just beginning to surface and their impact will be felt for years to come. This eye-opening book tells the stories of ordinary Hongkongers who faced extraordinary challenges during the pandemic. Through a blend of first-person accounts, psychological insights, and hard data, it offers a compelling and accessible exploration of the toll that the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on mental health in Hong Kong. However, this book is not only a chronicle of suffering; it is also a guide to healing and hope. It offers practical advice on how to overcome the mental health issues caused by the pandemic, and how to build resilience and well-being. It reveals the lessons that can be learned from Hong Kong’s experience, and how they can help individuals and policymakers around the world. ‘The almost three-year-long COVID-19 pandemic was difficult for many, especially amongst low-income families. We are still suffering from the long COVID of mental health. Mental wellness of the population during COVID-19, particularly amongst those who had been quarantined, was overlooked by authorities. Pandemic Minds provides many insights to prevent repeating mistakes again.’ —Paul S.F. Yip, director, Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention, University of Hong Kong ‘Pandemic Minds is a vital and telling book, with moving stories of the huge impact of COVID-19 on people in Hong Kong. This book also offers the prospect of a silver lining from this collective disaster, namely that it is now more possible to speak about mental health problems, and that COVID-19 may in fact have helped to reduce mental health stigma.’ —Sir Graham Thornicroft, professor of community psychiatry, King’s College London ‘A thoughtful and well-researched account of the many different facets of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong. Kate Whitehead’s engaging narrative and case studies bring back to life memories of a time that challenged the mental health and well-being of so many of us and will help us all to reflect upon and learn from the experiences that we shared.’ —Hannah Reidy, clinical psychologist ‘Pandemic Minds is a poignant and insightful exploration into the global health crisis that has touched every aspect of our lives. Kate Whitehead skilfully navigates through diverse and compelling narratives, spanning from the isolation of quarantine to the unique challenges faced by frontline health workers. Each chapter, such as the deeply personal stories of pregnant women and the struggles of migrant workers, paints a vivid picture of the pandemic’s multifaceted effects on our lives. Pandemic Minds does more than just recount experiences; it delves into the profound psychological aftermath of the pandemic—how it has reshaped our understanding of community and mental health care. This book is not just a collection of pandemic stories; it’s an essential blueprint for anyone committed to the cause of mental health in a post-pandemic world. Pandemic Minds is a must-read that will resonate with readers long after the last page is turned.’ —Candice Powell, CEO, Mind HK ‘The Hong Kong COVID-19 response was characterised by a top-down, disease-based approach with little thought given to psychological and social well-being. The power of this book lies in the individual narratives. I would encourage anyone with an interest in those times to take a walk in some other Hong Kong shoes.’ —David Owens, honorary clinical assistant professor in family medicine, University of Hong Kong

Book Description
The COVID 19 pandemic has profoundly impacted the world, affecting not only physical health and the economy but also mental well being. This chapter provides an investigation of the causal link between lockdown measures a significant public health intervention and mental health. Our examination begins with an overview of the mental health landscape across various countries prior to the COVID 19 pandemic. We then summarize key insights from a range of surveys, reviews, and meta analyses concerning the pandemic's effect on mental health. Further, we delve into a detailed analysis of three noteworthy studies that employ natural experiments to investigate the effects of lockdowns on mental health in different countries. Despite their differing research designs, these studies converge on the conclusion that lockdowns have had a detrimental impact on mental health. The intensity of this effect, however, varies among different population groups. This suggests that lockdown measures have affected certain segments of the population more profoundly than others.

Book Description
This booklet gives the answer to great many questions I received when we got in the depth of the Corona pandemic; questions from people as well as companies, about how to deal with this unusual stress-situation. Although the situation is unique, we can learn from a lot of research from many different fields about how to cope with it.My answers are based on theoretical knowledge about stress and about the human brain as well as practical experience teaching, coaching and consulting individuals and organizations on three continents.My interest in "Stress" dates from the early eighties when I did the research for my PhD on stress in high schools. Later this resulted in my bestseller: "STRESS: FRIEND AND FOE. Vital Stress Management At Work And At Home". Since then, I never stopped exploring this fascinating subject.Now, for the fourth time, I am delving deep again in the research literature to write the fourth and total revision of that best seller. I briefly interrupted my that work to write this booklet. My basic scientific knowledge about the human brain expanded a lot with the six years of research I did for my book "BRAINCHAINS: Discover Your Brain And Unleash Its Full Potential In A Hyperconnected Multitasking Word" and its concise version "How to unchain your brain". I just finished a book for teachers on this subject: "How To Unchain The Brain Of Your Pupils"In a pandemic there are lots of terrible and tragic events that are outside of your control. To stay sane in such an insane world it is important to choose your battles wisely and to concentrate on the many things you can do within your niche of control. In this booklet I summarize the core issues and give you a few solutions. Good luck and good courage!With kind regardsTheo

Book Description
First identified in December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 (the virus causing COVID-19) has since spread globally causing widespread deaths, suffering, and panic. In January, COVID-19 was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, and in March it was finally declared a pandemic (global outbreak). While public attention has been finely attuned to the physical suffering and long-term physical effects which occur as a result of COVID, an equally important area of concern is the effects of the pandemic on mental health, especially among vulnerable populations. Surviving the Shadow Pandemic: The Mental Health Implications of COVID-19 is a collection of research essays by students of Canadian universities exploring themes related to mental illness, discrimination, and the link between physical and mental health. Throughout the course of the book, a number of questions will be explored; for instance, how have lockdown procedures and social distancing affected mental health? How are ethnic minorities and members of the LGBTQIA+ community differentially affected by the pandemic in terms of mental illness outcomes? How does contracting the virus change these outcomes? Finally, how has psychological treatment changed in light of health protocols discouraging in-person contact? These questions and more will be answered in Surviving the Shadow Pandemic: The Mental Health Implications of COVID-19.
