Dealing with the fears surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic can make people, especially the elderly, more anxious.  During these unprecedented times, Sturgeon Bay Psychologist Dr. Dennis White of Sturgeon Bay says it is difficult to tell people to stay calm when they have concerns about their health and safety.  He says worrying is wasted mental energy and suggests using a coping mechanism.
