How worried should I be? What information can I trust? What should I tell the children?  Can I survive the panic, let alone the virus?
These are certainly challenging, unprecedented times. Allow pre-eminent psychiatrist Dr. Brendan Kelly to help you understand and cope with the unique stresses of today, as we all try to deal with the threat of COVID-19 within our homes, communities and throughout the world.
The anxiety associated with the coronavirus crisis is different to the anxiety seen in traditional disorders, because demonstrably there is something to fear, and that’s what makes this worry so ubiquitous, so persistent and so challenging to manage.
The good news is that, just as we are capable of finding sophisticated ways to make ourselves more anxious, we are equally good at finding sophisticated ways to manage our mental health, once we put our minds to it. Anxiety-management techniques help hugely once they are modified to suit the new situation we face, and in Coping with Coronavirus, Dr Brendan Kelly will give you all the practical tools you and your family need to navigate these dark, uncertain days.

      In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kelly (psychiatry, Trinity Coll. Dublin; consultant psychiatrist, Tallaght Univ. Hospital, Dublin) correctly identifies two major issues stemming from the pandemic: the illness itself (and its sometimes-fatal outcome) and the mental health issues we may experience during a time of uncertainty. Kelly provides readers with a five-step plan for working with and through anxiety. He aptly weaves his practical knowledge as a psychiatrist experienced in dealing with anxiety in patients and his in-depth study of Buddhist thought. The resulting text, a quick read without feeling superficial, is an introduction to mindfulness and anxiety-minimization that could be used by readers in many scenarios. Despite its title, this book could have easily been about mindfulness. However, the psychological toolkit adapting strategies to living during the pandemic is short and accessible and worth the read. VERDICT Recommended for those interested in mindfulness and self-help, but also for those who identify as spending too much time catching up on COVID-19 news via social media.--Rachel M. Minkin, Michigan State Univ. Libs., East Lansing
