He says developing new habits that will protect you and others during the health crisis can be hard to sustain when no end seems in sight. Dr. White shares why it is hard for some people to continue following safe practices.

He notes that those measures are the right things to do when in public, but we know that we don’t have to do it in many cases. You can listen to Dr. White’s entire Mental Health Minute below.
