Greenbrook's Virginia Regional Medical Director, Dr. William Sauvé , was recently on 98.9 FM WINA to discuss mental health care during the COVID-19 crisis. Dr. Sauvé began practicing psychiatry in the U.S. Marines and later served as a Division Officer of inpatient psychiatry at the Naval Medical Center of San Diego. Dr. Sauvé started working with Greenbrook in 2014 and has since been practicing TMS Therapy throughout our Virginia centers.
Dr. Sauvé was interviewed by WINA's Les Sinclair, in a segment titled "Mental Health in the Time of COVID-19." Dr. Sauvé was asked at what point a person should reach out to a professional regarding mental health and he advised that if a person has any questions regarding mental health, that's "the very first sign that it's worth making a call." Dr. Sauve noted that with many practices utilizing telemedicine during COVID-19, accessing remote care is possible. Greenbrook TMS is currently offering select appointments, including consultations , via phone call or videoconference.
The impact of social isolation on mental health was also discussed during the interview. Dr. Sauvé says that "being isolated is very difficult for most people. Humans by definition are typically social creatures, we rely on a certain amount of social contact to feel well." Dr. Sauvé makes a few recommendations for managing your stress and mental health during the quarantine, including:
- Maintain your normal schedule to the best of your ability
- Get up every day as if you were going to work
- Staying home if you are at risk of the virus
- Try to get outside and exercise
Dr. Sauvé also discussed the basics of how TMS therapy works and the steps Greenbrook has taken to help ensure the safety of both our patients and staff during this pandemic.
