À propos de cette écoute
An empathic and practical guide to navigating life with the cognitive and mental health impairments that accompany Long COVID, from neuropsychologist and world-renowned Long COVID expert Dr. James C. Jackson.
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the shocking mortality figures obscured the fact that death is not the only adverse outcome associated with the virus. Today, as many as 30 to 50 percent of COVID-19 survivors still experience symptoms long after their acute illness has passed, with problems especially prominent in the areas of cognitive and mental health.
For long haulers, this struggle with Long COVID has irrevocably changed their lives. Many have lost their ability to work, attend school, or look after their children. They often feel misunderstood and dismissed by others. Their once-full lives are now filled only with doctors' appointments that seem more and more futile.
In Clearing the Fog, neuropsychologist Dr. James C. Jackson offers people suffering from Long COVIDand their families a roadmap to help them manage their 'new normal'. Focusing on cognitive impairment and mental health issues, he tells listeners:
- the ways they can manifest and disrupt
- suggestions for how and when to seek professional evaluations
- science-based treatment options and strategies
- information on navigating health care systems and disability insurance
- validation and hope as patients wrestle with their new diagnosis
In addition, Dr Jackson shares his own experience with chronic illness , relating to long haulers with vulnerability and compassion. Through moving stories, as well as hands-on guidance, Clearing the Fog will help long haulers understand their current situation while offering multiple ways to address it, make sense of it, and move through it with the goal of thriving instead of merely surviving.
