Jon’s PostLife Crisis: Dr. Steven Wengel - Mental Wellness And The Covid-19 Pandemic

This episode I am joined by Dr. Steven Wengel, a psychiatrist with the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. I wanted to talk to a professional about what they’re seeing with regards to the effects of the pandemic on mental health.

Dr Wengel and I discuss:

  • The most detrimental effects from a mental health perspective of this pandemic so far?
  • What good things have come out of this pandemic (there are some)
  • What demographic is doing better than the rest?
  • How to manage your expectations to lessen stress
  • What people can do to keep themselves well, mentally and physically
  • How important is sleep?
