Queen M?xima discusses COVID and its impact on mental health ? Royal Central

QuoteQueen M?xima of the Netherlands spoke to researchers, psychiatrists, general practitioners and the organisation MIND on Tuesday regarding how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted mental health.

Vaccine rollout in the EU has been slower compared to some other nations, so unfortunately it's likely to still impact feelings of isolation among all age groups.

It does my heart good that mental health is being recognized as important.  That old idea to ?tough it through? is so harmful. 

When I was a fairly new nurse, mental health was whispered about. Psych rotation was dreaded.  Now - I have a wealth of programs to refer my patients to. People are more willing to talk about issues.  There is a long way to go but I think we are moving in the right direction.  At least here in Canada.

Wow! I can't believe that Maxima will be 50 this year. Come to think of it,  I'm pretty sure that another member of the "M" club (Maxima, Mary, Mathilde, Mette-Marit, and "Metizia) might be reaching that milestone too in 2021.

@Macrobug67 - So pleased to see that mental healthcare is finally receiving its due in the 21st century. It impacts our physical well being tremendously and should be considered part of a routine check up IMO.

I do bring up mental health, sleep and exercises during annual health reviews.   Also pay attention for people with chronic conditions esp diabetes, renal impairment etc.   It?s all part of primary health care.

Several books coming out about Maxi this year, to celebrate her fiftieth birthday I guess. The latest is a two  parter. The first part, named ?Motherland? will concentrate on her birth family, education, the Argentina years, before going on to her jobs and then her first meeting with W-A. It sounds extremely good. The second half, ?Fatherland? will come out later and examine her years in the Netherlands. The author is Marcia Luyten.
