Update from #Lahore #Covid_19 frontlines

Total 188 patients presented in emergency in last 24 hours and 14 patients shifted in ward.

6 patients LAMA (Left Against Medical Advice) from emergency and 8 patients received dead
almost all the patients who left or were received dead had typical features of COVID!!!!!

In Covid Isolation room of ER :
60 patients received with positive/suspected covid-19 in 24 hours
35 patients shifted to isolation ward and 14-15 patients referred to (affiliated) hospitals
If you are still leaving your house for non-essential tasks and ignoring SOPs you are partly responsible for these deaths and those which will soon follow.

Follow SOPs/wear your mask/keep your distance/wash your hands/get vaccinated

My thread from early 2018 popped up on my TL. Even more relevant today. #COVID__19 #MentalHealthMatters

Thread on #MentalHealthAwareness

Approximate number of psychiatrists in Pakistan is around 400 (yes. That's not a typo). 70-80% of these live in or around large cities.
It works out to about 1 psychiatrist/500K people. International standard is 1 psychiatrist for 10-15K people. There are almost no recognized Psychiatry sub-specialty training programs in Pakistan in psychiatry which means we are not training
We are not training any child/geriatric/addiction/forensic psychiatrists. In addition, many psychs are over 55 or 60 meaning they will retire soon. @WHO
has predicted a sharp rise in the incidence of depression and mental illness over the next decade (this is Pre-COVID)

Getting to know, tolerate and like your family members (again) during #COVIDー19 . A Thread.

One thing that has happened in the last 3 months or so is that all of us have had to spend more time at home. Schools and colleges are closed. Work places were closed initially 1/n
And then after workplaces began opening, online work was (is) being encouraged to minimize exposure to infection. As a result, we have all had to spend more time with spouses, kids, parents and close family. This was even more so in the initial lock down 2/n
And continues to be so. It looks like #COVIDー19 is here to stay so in addition to taking infection precautions, we should all be prepared for this 'new normal'.
Initially it felt a little odd being around family all the time. But I had been working on reducing my screen time 3/n

Thread on #mentalhealth during #COVID__19
Wl be adding to this periodically.

For more mental health updates/tips/ideas please follow my colleagues and dear friends @awaisaftab and @AhmadRehanKhan

The current world situation due to #COVID__19 is unprecedented in human history
The first thing to understand is that it is perfectly normal to feel stressed, overwhelmed, weepy, angry etc from time to time (for those with no pre-COVID mental health issues-for those who struggled with them pre-COVID, you may be feeling worse despite effective treatment)
Start with the basics to improve your #mentalhealth
1. Eat healthy. Avoid the urge to overeat,eat at the wrong times or eat only 'comfort foods'
2. Exercise regularly.If you have not been doing that, start. Walk, run, cycle, just move. You can also garden, wash cars, clean house
