So-called "long Covid" is turning out to be a devastating condition for an incredibly large number of individuals around the world. It's been estimated that as many as 200 million people globally are suffering from this condition. And as many as 30 percent of Covid-19 survivors still experience symptoms long after their acute illness has passed, with cognitive and mental health problems especially prominent.    From the publisher of Clearing the Fog: For long haulers, this struggle with Long Covid has irrevocably changed their lives. Many have lost their ability to work, attend school, and look after their children. They often feel misunderstood and dismissed by others. Their once-full lives are now filled only with doctors' appointments that seem more and more futile.   In Clearing the Fog, neuropsychologist Dr. James C. Jackson offers people suffering from Long Covid and their families a roadmap to help them manage their “new normal.” Focusing on cognitive impairment and mental health issues, he shows readers:   - The ways in which they can manifest and disrupt - Suggestions for how and when to seek professional evaluations - Science-based treatment options and strategies, - Information on navigating health care systems and disability insurance - Validation and hope as patients wrestle with their new diagnosis   In addition, Dr. Jackson shares his own experience with chronic illness, relating to long haulers with vulnerability and compassion.   Through moving stories as well as hands-on guidance, Clearing the Fog will help long haulers understand their current situation while offering multiple ways to address it, make sense of it, and move through it with the goal of thriving instead of merely surviving.    In this interview with Dr. Jackson, we will explore the following questions, and a lot more:   What do we know about the cognitive and mental health consequences of Long Covid?   What areas of cognition are impacted in Long Covid survivors?   How does cognitive impairment impact the daily lives and the careers of those with Long Covid?   What treatments have you found effective for Long Covid survivors and what does the research say?   What do we know about the benefits of cognitive rehabilitation?   Are there ways to leverage the neuroplasticity that Long Covid survivors have?   What role does acceptance play in coping effectively with Long Covid   ___________________________   TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 2:41 Cognitive Complaints 7:29 No Quick Fix 13:22 Cognition vs. Function Testing 17:58 The Ideal Long COVID Team 20:13 Plasticity and Recovery 22:40 Personalization in Treatment 25:08 Goal Management Training 29:16 Brain Training Apps 31:16 Anxiety and Depression 34:04 Restorative Sleep 35:39 Post Traumatic Growth 38:26 Practical Strategies 40:55 Conclusion   ___________________________   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/   Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/   Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDRl_UAXxbHyOOjklnA0dxQ/?sub_confirmation=1See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The syndrome that's appearing after someone is infected with COVID is an emerging global health crisis. Yet, confusion about Long COVID remains. Which symptoms get ruled-in? Which get ruled-out? Can anything be a symptom of Long COVID if it occurs after a COVID infection?On today's program, we talk with researchers studying the illnesses that people who have had COVID are living with, including persistent fatigue, loss of the sense of smell, vascular conditions, and brain fog and other neurological problems. We also talk with a psychologist who began support groups for Long COVID patients who often feel their symptoms are ignored (or not understood) by their doctors and families. And four patients describe their life with Long COVID for us. .James R. Heath, Ph.D.PresidentInstitute for Systems BiologySeattle, Wash.The Heath Lab.Jason D.

I know that when we hear the word, "trauma", we automatically think about a mishap so catastrophic to our sensibilities and sense of self that we struggle both internally and externally as a result. That's true and valid and today's guest trauma survivor and Certified Trauma Professional Alexia Smith and I talk about that. But as you listen, I want you to consider the celebrated attacks on your personhood, your worth and your worthiness that have been passed down from generation to generation. Those Western-culture sized, politically correct traumas that are just as much a crime against your enoughness than any; because they tell you that you aren't enough unless you are better than the next person at complying with their definition.In today's episode, Alexia exposes the trauma behind it all and what has to happen in order to reclaim your happiness and your most honest state. She's stopped eating at tables where love is not being served. I have personally been challenged by our conversation to do the same and am actively choosing Divine-sized love. ABOUT ALEXIA SMITHAlexia is a licensed counselor, mental health coach, psycho-educator and speaker whose calling is to help adult survivors of childhood traumas to uncover the Divine lessons of their past, appreciate the gifts of their present, and create the futures they deserve.
