How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
Note: this is partly about Corona virus pandemic and some thoughts about psychiatry in relation to the pandemic. Kind of off-topic, but it’s related to Covid-19 also. Health care was the main things that affected my life in particular during pandemic.
As I said in earlier post my Swedish psychiatric doctor could not travel to Norway for his usual office appointments for over a year. But we had call appointments instead and we spoke once every month through this year of big changes.
I really honestly miss him a lot, my current psychiatrist has not spoken with me for several months and my mental health is suffering so it’s not good. They also are very different doctors in general, he was less authoritarian and more compassionate with my perspective. But I truly hope my current psychiatric doctor will be there now when I need help with the treatments I need to function. And I like having a good relationship with my doctors and health-care workers, so I try and see the positive in every person.
