The Covid-19 pandemic is triggering widespread anxiety, depression, and addiction—deepening what many have identified as a mental health crisis. A recent study suggests that at least a quarter of American adults are experiencing pandemic-attributed, high emotional distress. Louis Gagnon, CEO of the Total Brain online mental health platform, discusses the benefits of preventative care delivered through self-monitoring apps and how analytics based on the resulting data can help companies improve wellbeing and productivity in the workplace.
The significant effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health was spotlighted in a recent collaborative study conducted by the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions, Total Brain, and One Mind. Compared with before the pandemic began, study findings indicate stark increases in rates of depression, anxiety, and stress, with women shown to be at a greater risk. On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we speak with Michael Thompson, president and CEO of the National Alliance, and Louis Gagnon, CEO of Total Brain, on their findings and how employers can optimize how they monitor and support mental health in their respective workforce.
