ANXIETY IN THE POST-COVID-19 WORLD:  The World Health Organization reported that the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a 25% increase in prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide, and just a few months ago the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health reported the COVID-19 Pandemic was associated with worse mental health and accelerated brain development in adolescents. These negative mental health outcomes throughout the world can impact social interactions and relationships, and they are likely to be evident in problematic social anxiety for some time to come. Yet around 50% of the patients treated for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) will not respond to first-line treatment such as antidepressant therapy. That means there is a lot of room for improvement, such as integrative and naturopathic care! Join Dr. Shawn M. Carney, naturopathic physician at Northeast Natural Medicine, LLC, at 7 p.m. in White Hall 127,  and review the scientific literature for how evidence-based herbal medicine, specialty testing, effective use of vitamins, minerals and neurotransmitters, acupuncture and lifestyle medicine can help!
