snip--"Lori Criss, Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services director said the state is filing emergency rules to expand telehealth options for people struggling with mental health issues and substance use disorders. This includes allow ingprofessionals and their patients to use normal cell phones and video apps to talk to each other.
Criss recommended to not skip mental health appointments. "We want you to stay healthy & well in all ways...if you have a mental health need or an addiction services need, we're making sure that you have access to those services," Criss said."


Check and see if your state is doing similiar.

One thing she did mention was getting away from news& social media if you find you are getting more anxious. I have done this a couple of times, it helped.
