Psychiatry
COVID has had a remarkable impact on our work . It ’ s made access more challenging for patients with severe mental illness . It ’ s also made access to addiction medicine treatment challenging . It ’ s been associated with more alcohol use in the general population and that ’ s resulted in medical and neuropsychiatric consequences . At the same time , the virus itself appears to directly affect brain and neuropsychiatric functions . Even as COVID has stressed the entire population , it ’ s significantly stressed health care providers . Here at Lifespan , we ’ ve had the chance to work with our colleagues to try to provide support where we can .
Day to day , the most rewarding part of my job is the opportunity to engage patients around their neuropsychiatric illness : to educate , reassure and treat them . It is equally fun to work at Rhode Island Hospital and at Brown with such amazing colleagues and learn from them as we focus on our shared work and mission .
