CNN (4/15, Woodyatt) reports mental health and brain research “must be a higher priority in the response to the coronavirus pandemic, scientists have said, warning that the crisis could have a ‘profound’ and ‘pervasive impact’ on global mental health now and in the future.” In a paper “published Wednesday in the Lancet Psychiatry journal, researchers called for better monitoring of mental health as part of the global response to the pandemic.” The paper, “which draws on the work of 24 mental health experts, including neuroscientists, psychiatrists, psychologists and public health experts, also noted that little is known about the impact of Covid-19 itself on the human nervous system.”
