Many people are feeling more anxious than usual at the moment, understandably, but how can any of us tell if what we're feeling is potentially more serious and how can we go about getting help.
In this episode of You OK? Clinical Psychologist and CEO of St Patrick's Mental Health Services, Paul Gilligan discusses how this current crisis is impacting mental health and what that looks like when it moves from a broadly standard response to something more problematic.
Paul also shares advice on how to access services, what we can expect when we do and he explains why it’s always better to act sooner rather than later when it comes to our mental health.
