Understanding Minds and Bodies
It seems like all we’ve been talking about since March 2020 could be put into the category of “health.” As vaccines rolled out and worry about COVID-19 rose and fell (and rose again) over 2021, the ever-present issues of our minds and bodies reasserted themselves in the public discourse.
Mental health care continues to be one of the most popular topics for our audience but so are other issues like medical misdiagnosis and the lack of immigrant representation among health care workers.
These are the conversations we were having this year about how health care is evolving during a global pandemic.
