A top Clinical Neuropsychologist has said the country faces an 'anxiety pandemic' amid the coronavirus outbreak

A top psychology expert has offered tips for people on how to manage their mental wellbeing amid the current coronavirus pandemic.

He said: “We can’t control everything in our lives and the current Coronavirus pandemic is a major example. He added that while worrying is a natural response to such a situation he moved to reassure people that worrying was not dangerous: "The fact is that constant rumination doesn’t help with the problem, nor does constant worrying help with coping and preparedness. It will be important for us all to learn ways to contain this."

"During the daytime, postpone your worry to later. Say to yourself that 'I'll put this off now until later and I'll give it some thought then'. Then, when it's time, absolutely use the 30 or 40 minutes to worry and problem solve.
