Board Certified Psychiatrist, with a Masters in Public Health, she's a recipient of an NIMH Fellowship in Epidemiology for her UCLA research on how to use the media to prevent and treat physical and mental disorders. DR.CAROLE LIEBERMAN, M.D., M.P.H: You’re afraid coronavirus isn’t really under control and that everyone flocking together - without masks or social distancing - will cause a resurgence that may even be worse. You've let yourself go - gotten fat, have gray roots and broken nails. You're ashamed and afraid you won't be able to put yourself back together quickly enough to be seen in public. You like working from home better and dread returning to the workplace, with its stale coffee, annoying coworkers and demanding boss. You enjoyed the time you had with your partner or kids and don’t want this closeness to end. You don’t want the stress of going out into the world - with the pressures of getting ahead, keeping up with the latest trends and coolest things to do. You don’t want to feel obligated to see your in-laws or friends you don’t really like, or having to network in-person to get leads for jobs or sales. You’ve come to love sleeping in late, sitting on the couch, binge-watching TV shows and movies, eating comfort food and not having to answer to anyone. You’ve become addicted to the calm of solitude and you don’t want people draining your energy or drawing you into a negative place. You have some awareness that your mental health isn't what it should be. You suspect you’re suffering from anxiety, depression, or other symptoms, and you're hesitant to reach out for help.
