Lecture: Mental health consequences of COVID-19 restrictions in Denmark (in Danish)

Mia Gall Grandahl, a psychiatrist in Region H and chairperson of ATLAS (Den Lægefaglige Tænketank), will give a talk on “Mental sundhed og COVID-19”. The lecture will be in Danish and is part of the KU course on Clinical decision making, and will be at Uni-parken - Auditorium 4, Building 14.2.240B.

Abstract:

During the Corona pandemic the Danish Government locked down the country, including schools, and introduced restrictions in nursing homes, making it difficult to visit older family members. The restrictions made it more difficult for family doctors to see their patients and for people to get medical help. This was to prevent people from getting severely ill from COVID-19 and with the declared good intent of protecting the population from early death. But COVID-19 policies have also had severe consequences for the management and treatment of other life-threatening illnesses and diseases, which will be presented and discussed in this talk.
