Pandemic put anxiety and depression in the spotlight like nothing in modern American history – and it wasn’t pretty. But as Dr. Kevin Brenner’s guest on this episode of Beyond the O.R. shares, it also inspired a new, very positive – and long overdue – honesty about mental health topics that impact so many of us and our loved ones. Co-host Elizabeth Morales adds dimension to the discussion with her own account of battling anxiety and – even though the topic at hand is a serious one – there’s lots of levity to go around!
