CHILD and ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH DURING COVID-19 LOCKDOWN
Significant information to help parents with Child and Adolescent Mental Health during Lockdown.
Dr Leila Masson will discuss the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people’s mental health and offer practical tips on what families can do to counter these.
For example, children in social isolation may produce less oxytocin and be in constant sympathetic overdrive. There are a myriad of lifestyle and nutritional interventions to increase oxytocin, to decrease adrenaline and stress, and shift children and adolescents into a parasympathetic “rest and digest" balance.
