IMSS provides support to patients with anxiety disorders resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic

#InstitutoMexicanoDelSeguroSocial . –  The Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) offers therapies that focus on accompanying patients with anxiety disorders due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the purpose of helping them adapt to the new reality and treat this physiological phenomenon through counseling.

The psychiatrist Francisco Paredes Cruz, attached to the Coordination of Occupational Health Evaluation of the Institute in the State of East Mexico, emphasized that this phenomenon limits the functionality of the person and makes them lose the ability to carry out their daily activities.

«It is a matter of identifying and seeking the support of the mental health specialist to be able to treat these symptoms. When we have the ability to identify the emotion, it is easier to be able to transmit what we have, what we feel and to be able to request more appropriate help,» he said.
