Feelings of fear, anxiety, and anger can be overwhelming for some people during the COVID-19 pandemic.   Sturgeon Bay Psychologist Dr. Dennis White says that people can use self-care skills to help cope with the situations they are dealing with at home and work.  Hotlines and emergency call centers have received thousands of calls as a result of this pandemic.  Dr. White shares the two typical ways people respond during a crisis.

Dr. White adds that now that society is opening up in safer stages, people may still be scared and lash out in public by being more verbally or even physically aggressive.  He notes that relaxation skills can help you reason better and overcome the understandable stress we all face.  You can listen to Dr. White’s entire Mental Health Minute below.
