The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked many questions about how to protect our physical health and keep the most vulnerable people in our communities as safe as possible from infection. But this anxiety-provoking new reality can also take an enormous toll on our mental health -- and can be especially hard on people with underlying psychiatric conditions. 

This week on The Dose, Dr. Peter Selby, chief of medicine for the Psychiatry Division at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), joins host Dr. Brian Goldman to talk about how we can manage our anxiety and stay mentally healthy through this unprecedented time.
