S3E4 - COVID-19 Special

After a period of prolonged isolation, the Psych Review is back with a COVID-themed special - and to maintain as much social distancing as possible for the first time the entire episode was recorded over the internet!

Join the registrars for the fourth episode of season three, where Mazz walks the fine line between mental health and public health legislation, Alanna goes back in time to look at the links between influenza and psychosis, and Shakira travels overseas to see what lessons can be learnt about global mental health during this pandemic.

The articles covered in this month's episode are:
