Many of the implications described here may also be relevant to future pandemics and public health crises.</p> <p>It’s time to strengthen our mental health system in preparation for the inevitable challenges triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, through gradual care and the practice of providing the most reliable information and the most effective and least resource-intensive treatment.</p>}, number={6}, journal={Jour Med Resh and Health Sci}, author={Viscuso, Dr. Gabriella Ilse and Mangiapane, Dr. Ernesto}, year={2020}, month={Jun.} }
