RTHK Interview: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after Covid 19

Hosted by Jim Gould and Paul Zimmerman, RTHK’s Covid Update episode in May featured MindnLife’s owner Dr. Zaidi.

The episode was produced following a study by the Polytechnic University which found that 1 in 10 Hong Kong residents showed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the first year after the onset of the pandemic. The researchers found that respondents who spent more time watching news related to the pandemic suffered more severe symptoms than those who spent less time doing so, warning that being in a constant state of stress and not managing it could cause adverse impacts on our mood and daily lives.
