In episode five we speak to Professor Bill Brakoulias, executive director of mental health services for Western Sydney Local Health District.
Prof Brakoulias provides insight into how COVID-19 is causing stress and anxiety, leading to some extreme behaviours including fights over toilet paper and anger at health workers, as well as more common symptoms such as irritability and sleeplessness.
He also offers advice on how we can seek help and care for each other in a time when most face-to-face contact is not allowed.
